Scooterotica

Long story but limping home from Eurolambretta. Currently in Belfort, France.

I have a GT186 which, after a prang with an Italian petrol station pothole, has a bent exhaust stud. This is preventing a good seal and I have blown one gasket.

Thinking of taking the stud out in the morning, putting nuts on either end, and hitting the middle to straighten it.

Anyone any better ideas beyond trying to get to a precision engineer who can make one up at M7!!

Older Peugeot 205/ 405 sumps are held on with M7 allen bolts. When in France.....???

Wonder how far from where fast frog lives you are,he might be able tohelp you out. Just a thought

Look on line they is a moto motorcycle shop near you.

And Newer (07/08+) Peugeot Expert/ Citroen Dispatch/ Mondeo/ 408(?) Cam cover/ inlet manifold top studs and injector studs are M7, when in France.....?? (Diesels, as are above post)

Vespa PX bottom crankcase bolt with 8mm nut spacers (use 10mm spanner to tighten), or Vespa PX gear selector stud?

Thanks, lads. I'll let you know how it goes.

Don't hit it the cast bits with a hammer.

Accessed a vice on campsite. Put brass nuts on either end and used an 8mm socket as a pivot. Managed to bend it back into shape. All back together and scoot ticks over nicely

Thanks for the ideas
