Do anyone know if the Vespa and Lambretta Handlebar levers för clutch and brake are interchangeable?
IE, can I buy one for a Vespa and fit it to my Lambretta?

They're not identical, if you get Vespa ones I think you need to fettle them to fit...

Vespa PX on a series 1 or 2 yes
Series 3 or better no due to the shape of the lever support

Thank you for the replies.
I mostly wondered if they have the same connecting holes at the same spot.

The series 1/2 are identical for pivot point and bolt size. It was overall a bit fatter (thicker where it meets the lever support) but only by about 1mm so was easy to adjust and polish. I was after the dog leg levers and could not find any lambretta ones

Where did you get the PX levers from, please Monty?

Ebay Scooter emporium old stock. They were originally painted red. When I got the paint off the aluminium was a rough casting that needed polishing up but the size and shape should be the same if you can get some already polished.

Intresting. I was looking at these:

But only see the hole for the bolt not the wire barrel.
In Lambretta we trust!

It must go underneath outboard of the adjustor
