Scooterotica

I've acquired a good early Indian GP frame with 'some' bodywork (leggies, front mudguard, rear runners & bridge piece) - but I'm missing side panels & headset... where's the best place to get decent re-made panels & a complete headset from?

You can get a complete late Indian headset from Scooter Restorations.

Just be prepared to spend hours with a Dremmel getting it to match together properly , I did with one I bought from them, better off looking for a good second hand Indian one in my opinion

Agreed, the headsets are awful. All the other bodywork is useable though. They do normally come with some dings and dents though.

Cheers for the advice lads...

You could talk to someone like Martin Girvin on FB. He had a few panels last time I heard.

Indian headset tops made in right Twix factory and headset bottoms made in left Twix factory and never the twain shall meet.
As well as the T shirt I have a box full of each. I probably won't live long enough to fettle them all to fit.
Get a Vietnamese one, perfect fit of the 2 halves and a rim that fits.

Do you stock the said Vietnamese ones Martin - and if so how much??

Would you consider fibreglass panels? If so a good friend of mine makes them for gp, li special,sx and series1/ 2 aswell as clip on for series 1/ 2, also mudguards to match. Absolute top quality and fit. Think panels are £70 a set. Pm me if interested.Speedy.

I've got fibreglass panels on my GP. They are absolutely spot on and fit like a glove. They came from GRP, if memory serves me correctly.
