Not sure how I became the go-to guy for 55-57 Vespa Ape builds, but okay.

These motors came with an optional electric start. The ES is a dynastart system and accesses the clutch through the clutch cover.

Case repair below plus I had to make a screw that is not reproduced.

So did you weld on a blob and machine it, or did you make a part and weld it on?

Would be cool to see the in between. Always fun to see an artist's process.
