hahaha we are here again....

No difference between series 3 Non Chrome ring and Chrome ring forks both 467 stem length.

The shorter ones were used by spanish who fitted a chrome ring headset without the chrome ring.

I bet several people have tried to fit spanish forks 458 stem in Non Chrome ring scooters and they dont fit I know I have....

New Stickys book page 215.... chrome ring and non chrome ring 467 stem length Spanish approx 460.

Think about it.... is there any difference between tube length on CR or NCR scooter? The difference is chrome ring and this is made up by the NCR versus CR headset dimension....

Ta Dah....

[RICSPEED]

simply made this a sticky in the faq section so that the information is to hand .. if there are any revisions or inaccuracies please add them

[FATBLOKE]

Its a great piece of information mate and its from Gem Booth so I believe, I started a discussion with him on this site or LCGB and he went away to think about it.

I stand by my belief that there is no difference between CR and NCR I actually bought some 460 long off eBay that I tried to fit to my 125 special and they wouldnt fit and that got me thinking.

Has anyone else had this problem? If so speak up.

Thanks

Oh there is: especially if you ended up with Spanish NCR.

Jem's guide was 100 %. spot on when I tried to fit S2 TV forks to S2 Li frame, was also 100% accurate about my LI150S CR fork length and the incompatability with Jet forks for replacement.

EG1 needed a new slot filing for the pinch bolt. EG2 no way: thread height insufficient.

So far I have found Jem's guide totally accurate but have not tried out anything more than essential beyond 'keeping on the road'

Surely the person to ask is Frank Sanderson who has developed the range of PM/Scoaldi forks their measurements must be accurate or else they would not be wasting our time. Have a look on the PM Tuning site at their info supplied FOC!

Frank has made some amendments to the original list. Shame that I can't remember them.

Just a little update I have some late s3 forks in S4 blue which have the push in buffers and the innocenti emblem on the fork yoke ive examined them and there 100% original with no modifications and they have the same measurements as the chrome ring ones in the list above , but as has been confirmed to me the chrome ring ring was dropped in 65 ish and push in buffers didnt come in on S3, s till the late sx/s4 was produced in 68
incidently the fork I have were from a s4 that I bought compleate and assembled about 5 years ago and resold on 3 years ago the new owner bought forks with damper brackets on as he wanted dampers

Hi All,

Does anyone know what the OD of the fork tube is where the headset clamp attaches?

Edit : Lambretta S3 forks
