Try again with the rubbers and handles on. A bit of gentle persuasion with the flat of the hand usually gets them on.

if they fitted before they will fit again! Probably a combination of new rubbers, panel clips and handles??
If you need a second pair of eyes just shout.

Just been reading this.Are you having trouble getting your side panels on?
I had excactly the same problem,tried three different rubbers,panels just would not go on.Then I got some from Scooter Restorations,they are slightly thinner,but with these on,the panels went on

I am pretty certain that these are the original panels but I'm not sure what you mean by the spring thingy tho?

Is that just a case of cutting it out with a dremmel or such? I'm going to keep the engine as standard on this one as I plan to hand it to my son when he turns seventeen (wife would give me hell if she found out it was not 125 and also I would not forgive myself if anything was to happen to him). Am keen to do another for myself once finished but with a bit more oomph
Yes just demmel some out
