I've compiled a list of all standard fixings on an Li series Lambretta, which I could email to you?
It's about 6-7 pages long and was compiled with the 'assistance' of The 'Unofficial' Lambretta Manual Update book

If theres a JR Websters near you, and you can get a copy of the Unofficial lambretta manual....Websters sell or can obtain most screws nuts and washers, I get my 7mm nuts and washers and pressure plate screws off them, as well as most of the normal metric nuts washers and bolts....

Why??? Taking bolts in and out of an alloy casing will wear the threads. You are better off using studs.

Agreed, allen bolts look nice but f*@k up the threads on your casings leading to oil leaks, don't do it.
