Your best bet is downloading Tony Cassidy's gearbox visualiser, it's brilliant, it lets you compared different set-ups.

Me, being a novice it would still be a guess(lots of numbers to look at on that) but a professional opinion would be great!! 

OK, here's what I do.
Use the "Lambretta Overall Gearbox Visualiser" from Beedspeed website.
http://beedspeed.com/html-pages/Lambret ... oChart.htm
That gives you final drive ratio's for any given gearbox and sprocket combination
Then I also use a chart off CAM LAM website that gives all sprocket combinations, and correct chain length to go with it.

Also remember if you get a pull down chain tensioner gives a bit more flexibility on chain length
Finally the larger the front sprocket the less wear on your clutch

ok without all the charts etc.
My TS1 (bit tuned) I had at final drive 4.81 (pacemaker and 47-18 sprockets)
Good all round drive

I've got the same setup and agree with Stokkystokky wrote:ok without all the charts etc.

As i have said above i need to use a 46 crownwheel(long story but this is my only option at this time) so it will have to be 46/?? to get me going any thoughts? thanx Lammer205
