rebore at beedspeed

[tavspeed]

anyone used beedspeed for rebores,correct clearances etc,do they do them in house or farm it out,seem cheap enough at £20.50,emailed AF for a price for rebore and 70.2mm piston,never got back to me,so thinking of trying them,plus mate is a courier round their area,so can drop off and pick up for me,cheers all.

your hoping emailing a Lambretta dealers,
I would ring them after 10 am , Af will certainly do it for you, Post them your barrel by My hermes well wrapped it should cost you a £5
You may get away with a hone and new piston or need to go to 70.6mm or bigger to remove damage or wear

have used af a few times,lastly had crankcase mouth machined for rapido 250,drove through and dropped it off,you have to chase them up to get it back,tried ringing ,emailing can,t get hold of them,if beedspeed are good willl use them

ive used beedspeed in the past but not for a while - no problems on a vespa barrel (tolerances were specified by me)

I ve used AF for both lambretta and vespa.

Cost at AF last time was £15 and they did it while I waited during the week which was good - they checked the bore and we discussed clearance etc (Ben did it) - no problems

I now have someone about 15 miles away who does them but he shuts for 2/3 months in the winter which can be a problem.

where are you ?

To be fair to AF, I've phoned them on half a dozen occassions over the last few months and have never had a problem getting through. I think you need to pick your times.
