this is how they are fixed using the brackets provided (two only)
the lower fixings should go straight through the legshields/mudguard
hope this is self explanatory
gaz
the brackets are rivetted (if already painted) or welded (if not) to the legshields for the upper fixingsLeg shield glove box

Will tweak it better if I get round to getting the paint done, maybe next year...

cheers :baddevil:Andy Pickering wrote:They do vary it seems from a bracketing point of view, Mine has just 2 down the centre (its fibreglass btw), once I had cut to suit I used quick clamps to hold it in place then I marked with chalk pen through the bracket holes, centre punched, drilled then fitted riv nuts (threaded sleeves), really makes it easy if I need to remove it, it only takes seconds..

If it's chrome then it's 99.9% that it's from Vietnam and the fittings will be as Gaz described.
I mask up all the inner legshields then position where I want it to fit, basically as high as it will go and still sit inside the shape of the leggies. Hold it in position and trace round it with a marker pen. It'll most likely be miles out from being a flush fit so you have to trim / file / dremmel it to fit. Wherever the box makes contact with the leggies you have to remove some material from that spot, never remove more than one mm at any one time. The outline on the masking tape ensures that each time you remove some material and reposition it, you're always putting back in the exact same position. As you remove material the gaps should get increasing smaller until you've got it more or less flush all the way around. When I got to that point I traced around the inner lugs at the bottom inside the toolbox so I could drill the holes through the leggies but out of sight under the mudguard. Then bolted it on so I could mock up the top brackets that need pop rivetting to the leggies [much easier with the leggies off the scoot]. If I did it again I'd probably use bolts instead of the rivets. It's a slow process removing the material to make it fit but at most should only take 2 or 3 hours of trial and error. Possibly the most useful thing I've ever fitted.

Does anyone know who made the nannucci /GS style ones for a series 2 Lambretta? I think someone mentioned someone called Shaun burns I think?? Possibly in Lancashire somewhere ??
