Modern Vespa

Hi guys just wondering about the side panel lock on a VBB not to sure about how the lever pushes down especially the "V" type spring on how it's fitted thanks in advance.

Here's a pic of mine. Hope it helps.

So as I can see the spring sits inside the bracket slash chamber

Yup,spring goes in the chamber, then the lever feeds from the outside.

Thank you Jedi hunter

Still having trouble it seems that it doesn't spring when it wants to

All sorted found it

Im glad you got it!
They're fiddly little things, and really difficult to describe when not actually there to "show" how they go.

No it's not sorted I still can't get it to spring properly

What am I doing wrong here?

Should I just stretch the spring out a bit so it springs better

Jedihunter can you send me a closer pic of the spring where it sits thank you

The out pointing ends sit in the little groves on the top side of the " bracket" on the door, with the U bend parallel to the bottom of the "bracket ". Then slide the lever through the door with the U bend below the lever. There should be a notch in the lever that the U bend sits in.

Unfortunately mine has no spring at all the lever is so loose

Try this.

Jedihunter you need a 6 pack of whatever you drink thank you by pressing the spring up and down it's worked a treat thanks again no my last question do I flattened the Rivett that passes thru the hole or leave it

I would flatten it to the point you feel confident it won't vibrate out.
Glad I could help, it gives some value to the time I spent figuring it out on my own scoot

I would think so so it doesn't fall out

Where abouts are you guys situated around the globe?
