Scooterotica

Hi,

Does anyone have any pictures and dimensions of the side panel holes ? I dobt really want one big hole but have seen a few lammy's with pattern type modifications in the panel.

Daz

which sidepanel holes ?
the holes for the levers ?
from a lambretta lc/ld-model ?
from a certain custom scooter you have seen ?

I presume he means a hole for the carb in the side panel.

Sorry yes the holes for the carb on the right side panel

pictures of any scooter won´t really help you. check out which inlet manifold and what carb you have, mount it, take a waterproof pen, sign on panel from inside and make a hole.
simple as that.
btw: TECHNICALLY there is no need any more to cut holes in panels, as you can fit shorter manifolds, smaller hi-tech carbs and air-filter systems (like "remote" vespa-p-range-carb-rubber
and ram air filter or plastic airfilterboxes from gokarts, reducing noise)

One of the alloy type car tax disc holders provides decent sized hole (presuming you don't want a huge filter poking through the hole) and looks quite neat with some mesh on the inside. "Delloughta" on here as some pics of his on his Imola.

I have seen a few side panels with like a pattern of round holes in them, I found the templates but everytime I try to print them they come out the size of dinner plates !, dont think I want to go that big

I drilled a series of 12mm holes in my GP panel, I marked the inside of the panel as described by soulpunk, then roughly marking the centre of the circle I'd drawn, I just drew a few smaller circles within that with a pair of compasses, then dot punched a mark for each hole. I drilled a pilot hole for each one and then made each hole bigger with a series of bigger drills, turning the panel over each time to try and stop the panel from distorting.
Hope you can understand that.... I'm struggling too myself reading it back.

Is this the one? I presume if you save it you'd be able to resize it____don't ask me how mind
