Modern Vespa

Cruising down a rocky road in George Washington national Forest to go play with my RC rock crawler.
Bottomed it out once in the process. That has happened before though, didn't think anything of it.
Next day I had a small oil puddle under the mp3, no big deal, was high speed for about 20 mi on the way back. Figured it was just blow by.
Wiped it up, was back the next morning little puddle under the mp3.
Investigated and found this 🥺

Have a talented friend, that's going to try to grind off enough of the boss that is there, to get a flat surface and use a shorter bolt to replace the long one that has bent. Hopefully it will work or my mp3 is done.

Bugger, bugger, bugger. Definitely try the grind + short bolt route - there shouldn't be much pressure inside the case.

And add a skid-pan.

I'm taking it up to him on Thursday. Will drain the oil, and let it sit for a few days to let as much oil drain out as possible in case he has to do some TIG welding.
Then we'll lay it on its side and he'll do his thing.

There is a replacement bolt in the crankcase. Waiting for sealant to dry till tomorrow morning before adding oil.

I hope that does it! It looks like it should hold, from the pics.

good looking fix

Yes. Sean does really nice work.
