My rims on the P both had been bent by the P.O. In Lambrettas, we'd use these for to make hub holding tools. Are they useful for this or anything else in the Vespa World?

Never thought of them for portholes before, they would be good for a yellow submarine.

They make good bases for vespa headset desklamps.

Sharpen them into zombi decapitation throwing disks and put them in your bug-out kit.

I see they aren't good for much. But I like the creativity of the answers!

I like the stove top spacer. The side burner on my Weber grill is way, way too hot. Now I am in the market for a fubar'd rim.

weld two cross beams on em so they come to a triangle, and rest on your swing arm, great tool to help in torquing down axle nut as it will hold everything in place.

Like this, right? I haven't had to pull the rear hub on the P200 before but I didn't know if it was like Lambretta where there is no other way to get a proper torque on it. This was my original question, though I didn't really state it quite right.
