Modern Vespa

I pulled my rear wheel to put a new tire on it and there wasn't a dust cover over the center retaining nut. Did they have one? If so, would anyone have one laying around. I've looked on line for one with no luck.

That's not a dust cover. It keeps that axle nut locked in place, with the help of the cotter pin.

Here's another:

You torque that rear axle nut to 80 ftlbs +/-. Piaggio is the only scooter maker I have ran across that has this belt and suspender method to make sure the rear wheel doesn't fall off.

For Vespas at least, I think they're rather important Torque doesn't seem to cut it for this application.

Crash bang wallop. How to straighten the steering column.

2nd ride after rebuild...wheel fell off.....went to hospital

That shipping takes it up to a pretty high end coffee!

If the OP hasn't rushed off to order, I can have a look in my parts box. If I do, it won't be shiny....

Here's something else that has that part in it:

Thanks Willo,

That's what I was wondering, if that type of dust caps came on it. I guess I wasn't clear enough with my description of what I needed.

Thx for all the info.
