are they the same ??
I bought a set of both at wicksteed, but just chucked them in my bag, now i don't know which is which...
they do look the same, and both seem to fit my lambretta, but are there some subtle differences that i have overlooked....?

Lowers are the same for Lambretta and all Vespa. Uppers are the same for Lambretta and Vespa after '62 or something.

Not quite Mark. Early Vespa's have bigger balls :P But they are not in a race, more free floating, as big balls should be :biggrin:
So if your balls are in a race , you are good to go :)
