IS HE HAVING A LAUGH?
Posted: Wed Mar 24, 2010 9:27 pm
ordered a 46 tooth rear sprocket from a lambretta dealer selling parts on ebay
the sprocket was different one to that shown on listing (not bothered too much - would have been nice to have seen the burrs on the teeth though)
the central bore was too big
the bronze bush was a loose fit and rocked in the bore
took the sprocket to another dealer who tried 3 different bushes from different suppliers inc. the scooter loopy one and all were way too loose to be of use
tried another sprocket and the bushes were a good fit with no rocking play
returned the sprocket to the dealer who supplied it explaining the problem
he has returned the sprocket to me and GLUED a bronze bush to the sprocket so theres no play (and no movement)
surely i cant be expected to use this bodge in my lambretta?
cheers
