Lambretta restore pistons?
Posted: Wed Jan 12, 2011 3:54 pm
Any one using one of these pistons? I need a 71mm to replace an MB one, as they have none in stock. Any feedback appreciated !

Thanks

Yes saw that a while back with the twisted piston rings and holes.But i dont think it said where they were fromcamel wrote:i think these are the same pistons sold by beedspeed.....now if you look on mb developments facebook page in the galleries they say....
now im not claiming this is the same piston
that they are racetour copies and they dont have an oil hole in the gudgeon pin,also the rings are sub standard....
but im sure an oil hole could be drilled!!!

I try not to listen to much when one dealer slags of another dealers productand i wouldnt of expected MrB to say "wow these new pistons are fantastic and at half the price of ours, brilliant." so thats why i asked the question, for real feedback not biased accounts true or not

The MB one would of been my first choice as it would have been a straight swap.![]()
So has anyone had a bad experience with the Beedspeed ones
