I'm changing the front axle on my sprint (69) and looking in my "How to restore classic Vespa" book it says ,Remember to fit the small spacer on the shaft,with a picture of a spacer going on the end of the shaft against the end of the groves for the speedo,(if this makes sense)I didn't have one on the old one is it missing?
Also the woodruff key is pig the get in the new shaft is there a knack to it ?
Cheers anyone who replies

you need that spacer or axle will sit to far over an drum will bind on backplate . a keys suppose to be a tight fit in keyway , but if a very light tap with a small hammer doesnt seat it i'd suspect a wrong/oversize key .if you havent a replacement a light dressing with a file til it just fits is what i'd do, H

Just fitted the spacer works a treat no more drum rubbing on the dust cover,Why they don't include this with the new axle? Cheers for the advice
