During my meanderings around the net looking for information and bits and pieces for singles I have saved the below sites to my favourites. I know I leave myself exposed as the sad barsteward I am, but in the interests of the cause I have posted them here. Obviously some will be considered crap but some are gems of knowledge. Good surfing!
Sorry about the underlining, it is doing it on it’s own. ( fixed - Lawrence )
Just wanted to check if anyone has had experience with AT at nonsolomotoguzzi. I ordered parts with an email exchange and transferred funds about 3 weeks ago, but no acknowledgement and no parts!?
Thanks, Simon
I am finding out that a lot of Lambretta parts are common with Guzzi singles of the 1960’s. Just ordered a reproduction speedo for the Stornello £15 plus £5 delivery from Delhi!The alternative was 140 Euros from Italy.There is quite an industry creating new parts for the scooters and the prices from India are dirt cheap. A brand new scooter carb for £25. Maybe we should try and get them making Guzzi parts.
Problem is in my limited scooter experience is that Indian-made parts are, or used to be shoddy, and a false economy. It may have changed now, tell us when your speedo arrives…
At £20-00 it will look about right, not sure about accuracy as the wheel size will be wrong, the proper one reads up to 140Km/hr this one only goes up to 100, plus it will read in Km not miles but it will look about right and fill the hole in the speedo. I might just fit a bicycle one discretely somewhere for a proper speedo.Tempted to try a set of brake and clutch levers (with mounts) for the grand sum of £5.90 plus £3.46 postage from Delhi. The front brake lever even has a switch for the brake light! Just how do they do it for that money?
Given that this NOS veglia costs 235Euros, I’d say it’s worth a punt.
You may be ok with the gearing - I think they made the head to the same pattern and changed the gearing at the front wheel to suit the bike.
I got mine from Brian Peck, he had a few under the bench in need of rebuilding a couple of years ago…
