New Member but with a Er Humm an Ape !

[magwee]

Hello and Hi to everyone I hope I haven't offended anyone but the T5 has gone and I've bought a pair of Classic Ape's for my business.

There both off of TV one from HeartBeat & one from the Fall Guy both being 1972's but i could really do with some help & knowledge please i need to get some parts but as there from the older versions they'll need to come from older dealers or even a Vespa Dealer parts needed are like

Clutch, Throttle & Brake cables

Air Box & Carb Filters

Carburetor bases ( black hard round with two bolt holes)

brake pads

Tyres

bushes for engine mounts, shock absorbers

Most of what i need are servicable parts but trying to find dealers who have them for Ape's is turning into a nightmare i'm sure they must be accesible and i'm sure there readily available if i had the right name

If any members now of what parts are interchangable, a dealer or a stockist that has them or any member who has any parts please contact me any info would be really appreciated

Many Thanks

Shaun Stearman

We did have one guy, from the Channel Islands I think, join the forum and ask questions about parts for an Ape quite a while ago, but I don't think he's been on for a long time.

Lu, maybe you could ask that garden centre in Meols where they get parts for their Ape.

Didn't realise they had one - I'll go and have a mooch next time I go past.
