can anyone help. I've fitted a px engine to my 152l2 and along with this went rally fork links to give me 10 inch wheels, everything was going well until the test drive. While checking the brakes I found the front wheel locked up, on inspection I found that the tyre (350/10) seems to be rubbing on the mudguard (152l2 type) only on braking. Is there a uprated shock obsorber that solves this problem?. The one i've fitted is for a 150 super. Any help would be much appreciated.

SIP do uprated shocks and damper units for rallys. Another cheap fix which admittedly I've not tried is to cut a Lammy fork spring down and fit it inside the Vespa shock.

Thanks Guys, i'm opting for the cheap option first. I've got a lambretta fork spring, hopefully this will work.

lambretta spring didn't work, so back to the drawing board.
