who sells sil 200 casings and or engines in the uk please ?

Cambridge Lambretta do but they're delivered from India I think

I think all new engines are from India, who else is producing them ?

I see Willenhall scooters are selling a complete engine for £1000......

Scooter Restorations were advertising some recently as 'slightly damaged' -usually involves chips to the rear brake rim or the fins underneath.

Got a bare casing from rayspeed a couple of months back

Hi, what about converting a 125 /150 case ? . Oiltek etc can do this . John

Rayspeed, Andy Francis ...... me, to name but a few.


Blah, blah ........ any genuine quote.

I do like / prefer to open them up, drain off the mud that passes for Indian oil, change the top end bearings and seals and fit a Yamaha 110 rod and big end bearing to the Sil crank.

While I'm doing all that I may as well change the casing to a Misano one, fit an Avanti kit, fit a 7 plate LTH clutch and put my name down for an all singing and dancing 5 speed gearbox.

All depends on how long your piece of string is.

At over £1800 just for the bare Misano casing, it would need to be a pretty long piece of string!

Agreed but no shortage of peeps wanting a BSG engine.
