When arriving home after work and parking the Vespa I noticed the screw was missing from the front suspension cover
Does anyone know what size scew this is ... does it require a washer to hold it thanks for the help

Just curious. Did you notice anything different with the absence of that bolt and the front fender able to move more freely? It was suggested that air traveling through a loose front fender might enhance 'the wobble.'

The mudguard can wobble around when the bolt is missing.
Maybe only really noticeable in the UK where my local roads are falling to bits?
