Scooterotica

Hi all,
My name is Matt and I’m from Aldershot Hampshire. I have been lurking around the forum for a little while now and have just ventured into the classic scootering scene with a 1963 Li 150 series 3. I hope to be a regular visitor and am looking forward to gaining a wealth of knowledge from the more experienced scooterist.

welcome aboard

Welcome Matt, I’m just down the road in Farnborough, if you ever need any advice or need to borrow tools give me a shout. Aldershot has quite a healthy scooter scene too, so plenty of like minded people about.

Thank you for the welcome, as for tools I shall be raiding my step fathers old shed for all the older imperial spanner’s.

Welcome to the forum Matt.

Welcome aboard

You’ll be out of luck then Matt, every nut and bolt on a Lambretta is metric

The opposite to what I have, I was looking for a Allen key to adjust the clutch cable the other night and I found every size bar the 3.5mm I needed, so that was the first purchase.

I was referring to specialist tools like rear hub puller / holder , flywheel puller / holding tool, clutch compressor, clutch holding tool, crank puller / holder / removing tools, fork spring compressor, steering clamp spanners etc etc. If you don’t have access to any I’ll lend you mine mate.

Thanks very much for the offer and I have no doubt at some point I will be calling on your expertise and extensive tool kit.
