1. You can loosen the spring a bit, to adjust the height. Still if it doesnt work, place 2 rubber dampers inside the seat in place of 1 provided the bolt length permits.
4. By any chance are you using a 12V bulb in place of 6V bulb. Headlamp appears a bit dim or is it so only in the photograph. Rakesh's Lamby came with a 6V system.
5. Is the right side brake lamp different from the other two inside the assembly.
6. Is the engine kill switch oriented lengthwise vertically or horizontally? |
Thanks, ilango!
Sure, will try loosening the spring. But let me first check it out by riding the scooter myself, which I really cant wait to do now! Hehe!
'not sure about the bulb but I guess it is a 6V only, since my scoot runs on a 6V system.
'not sure about the difference in the lamps/bulbs. Maybe it was because of the photo.
Engine kill-switch I think is mounted vertically, going by where the wire connection was (at the top) Would it make any difference btw?

I am really happy with the progress you have made on the scoot.
Why is it that the Rear Floor Board strips are broken - your mech seems to have overtightened them. Let me know if you need grey strips to match the front rubber strips. |
No issues Saurabh! I thought so in fact.
'not surprised about the floor board strip breaking - they are after all "Made in India!"
I would surely like grey strips, but mine (front and back) are all black only, as can be seen (also sent from you)
I infact intend to replace all the strips with grey imported ones at a later stage. 'just want the scoot on the road for now.

Also if there is anything else you need now to finish the machine feel free to let me know so that we can atleast have your machine sorted out as soon as possible.

As of now, whatever you've got for me so far would do, thanks. And i must say you were a BIG help all the way in the restoration of this machine!
Reg. SMS, my inbox is full now so not able to receive any more new messages as of now. So do pm me if anything important.
Anyways, more updates today!! The body panels are all fitted, except for the right rear floorboard, because the silencer needs to be changed, with the new muffler and tail-pipe to be fitted at the denter's tomorrow, hence he hasn't fitted the floorboard as yet.
Headlight also in place. And man does it look fab, I just changed the glass to the one marked "Innocenti" and used the old reflector itself. But the whole thing looks brand new!!
Also fitted is the rear frame grille, stepney wheel and cover. Only things left to complete it are the badges, I will fit them on only after the scooter is polished.
But I must say, it sure is a refreshing change from how the scoot looked all this while (read 1.5 years!!) How I have been waiting for this time! And I'll be the happiest when it's finally done!
The pics. speak more, so here they are!
