This is the correct one, https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Lambretta-Dr ... Swq9lZgGJo Scootopia do one thats less than half the price.Whatever you do,dont buy the bolt with a seperate washer,their Indian and come loose very easily.

because when you torque the bolt the washer eventually becomes concaved and the bolt comes loose.

I`ve never had a problem with the Indian ones once fitted , they are in all my TS1, however I do treat them as sacrificial on rebuilds - I got into this habit when they were the only ones you could buy new , before all the remade ones hit the market
