i am giving it a full nut and bolt resto as a true special but i have a nice af 175 iron kit from my other scoot and a25mm delorto af 42 box ithink that will be the only changes just to give it a bit more wumff i am going to take a lot of pics and i wil post some up

if its that original why bother doing a resto? As Coxy used to say- "they are only original once!"

agree with chris leave it alone or treat it to a descent engine and upgrades brakes suspension etc

My '65 import had the thick 3rd gear but the earlier drilled cluster and as far as I could tell no one had been inside the motor,so it was either fitted in the factory or went to a service centre.

thanks wack63 when you say thicker by what 2 or3 mm I bet there is something in stickys bible

The teeth on the loose 3rd gear are visibly thicker on the end compared to the other gears.
