Splendid job this, Ali; she's a beauty. When's the maiden voyage then?

Thanks for the help Henri. I may have drilled holes further inbound for the clip at the end of the tube instead of shimming to take up the slack.. i will hopefully get round to looking at that after I've fixed the kickstart and/ or the electric start - been bump starting since both failed within a day of each other..

Cheers Sime - the maiden voyage has been completed! I rode her to Music Mania a few miles away this weekend and entered her into the comp!

Great job, thanks for sharing. I've just done a spontaneous combustion purchase of a Vespa with no idea how they go together - so looking at your photos is doubly interesting.

Set up was at half 10 Henri, Judging at half 11 and trophys at half 12. I got there at 10:25 and was one of the last ones to get there. I guess you've got to arrive pretty damn early to get up the front, could give you a better chance being up the front.
