Had a look at a mates T5 barrel at the weekend and he has a piece of the lining worn away/flaked off just above the transfer port on one side of the barrel.

The piece is about 4x5mm in size, question is does he run it as is or have it plated or upgraded?

What does it cost to have a barrel replated?

Where does he go for plating?

any help greatly appreciated.

A new standard cylinder and piston from Beedspeed is £199. https://www.beedspeed.com/vespa-cylinde ... epvj9bj301

A re-plate from Langcourts is about £100/£120 plus you will need a new piston to suit at £60. http://www.langcourt.com/index.html


Or just clean up with a bit of fine wet and dry and see what happens.
