Another lovely little Lambretta dropped into IDK today .
A fairly new owner of this pretty little scooter and following a run out to the Big 7 rally a few issues came to light .
So now staying with us for a few days for some love .
Fork rebuild , new clutch , a brake overhaul , and a few silly little jobs to be done to get it all straight for its happy new owner .
I do love a Lammy .

Lambretta rear hub removal can prove a little tricky at times , so a customer brought his into us to have his removed and a new set of shoes popped in .
On removal of the hub it was noted that something was missing .
But it was only the splines that provide the drive .
Not a little worn , but Harry Potter style disappeared .
A spare hub slipped on to get him mobile and new parts ordered to put it properly right , along with a couple of other little jobs .
Quite possibly the worst wear I have ever seen , and still not sure how it actually managed to turn the back wheel .

A huge congratulations to Rick for landing the trophy for best in show at the Big 7 rally .
Obviously , well done to all the trophy winners , but having had a small part to play in the creation of “ Blank Expression “ makes it a very special scooter to IDK .

Had the little Lui back in for some work on the rear brake this week before the Big 7 .
By design the only adjustment is done by moving the cable in the clamp , which is very annoying .
New shoes and rear hub seal replaced , and then a modification to the rear end to allow the fitting of a standard cable adjuster to make life easier in the future .

Had this little gem in for some work , prior to its maiden voyage across Europe to the Vespa World Days in Rome .
Forks to be fitted , panel adjustment, cables to be renewed , and a change of clutch, gearing and oil .
Along with a little wiring and a few other little odds and sods .
We would like to wish the owner ,Jake , Bon voyage and safe, reliable travels and look forward to following his progress .
