I don't understand! I thought the disc and caliper were on the right (engine) side of the scooter, and the valve is on the left (flywheel) side. I'm looking at the pics on Lambretta Innovations and PM tuning website and there shouldn't be an issue that I can see. I'm just trying to understand it. Is there a difference between the anti-dive and non anti-dive maybe?

Yes there is a difference between anti dive and none anti dive. I tried a single anti dive which doesn't fit.

I haven't got a none anti dive version so I can't check on that, it will still need longer bolts though.

Ah ok, so I think I'd be alright then as I don't need anti-dive.

Obviously the none anti dive fits on the "normal" side of the hub so the caliper hitting the valve isn't an issue but the caliper could still foul on the rim. Not saying it will as I haven't got one to try.
I was at the Blackpool rally a couple of weeks ago and Frank and PM tuning were there also, Frank looked at the rims and we discussed the need for longer bolts but I can't remember if we tried to fit a single disc onto one of the SIP rims or not.
At some stage I'll nip over to Frank's and try all the combos to be sure as I could do with seeing if the single anti dive can be converted to fit on the normal side.

I'd sure appreciate knowing. I live in Canada and if i order one up here in the boondocks and it doesn't fit It'll be a process to return etc.!!!!
Thanks
