Hey guys, I'm starting a rebuild on my 91 PX and I have noticed there is a 10mm gap at the top of my glove box and the leg shield are these just a rough fit?

Did you buy genuine Piaggio or aftermarket? The reason I ask is that I restored an '87 PX200e in 2021 and used a genuine glovebox that I had bought in 1998 but never used. It was a perfect fit (with the rubber installed). The parts that are available now may not be to the same standard as they were 25 years ago!

No not even close, PX has a bigger door and different shape around the frame. P in yellow cream is PX

Did not know that…
Not a huge fan of the square looking PX glove box. Always wondered if there was a smaller rounder one to fit. |
