I can vouch for the one Corrado is selling - excellent quality and price (there are some shi#e ones out there)......be mad not to have one, even if you use only use it once.....
Although not as good as my NOS Innocenti one, hot footing from Italy as we speak!!!

The one from Corrado in use, had to fettle the gap edges ever so slightly but works perfectly... you need lots of heat into the casting and then the mounts wind out silky smooth.

Getting them out is the easy bit. Keeping the new ones in line is the hard part.
Destructions can be found in the scooter centre Lambretta catalogue on page 95.

I regularly find it beneficial to take a flat file to provide a better chamfer to the leading edge of the mount so that it finds its way into the lug ebetter and then aligns easier on its way through, rather than it repeatedly catching on the sharp edge and reaming its way through (loses interference fit if it does so).

Last set I fitted, after heating the casing, went in by hand

Yes, the UNI ones have a good chamfer on them and went in much easier than others I've used.Adam_Winstone wrote:I regularly find it beneficial to take a flat file to provide a better chamfer to the leading edge of the mount so that it finds its way into the lug ebetter and then aligns easier on its way through, rather than it repeatedly catching on the sharp edge and reaming its way through (loses interference fit if it does so).
