Putting the vespa GT I got back together and noticing that the screws didnt seem to be in the right place , is there anywhere I can get the sizes to ensure they are being put back correctly , or has someone a GT taken apart that they could give me these measurements , i've looked at a few vespa spares websites that show pictures but without dimensions it's a lost cause! (there were some missing so will need to order those up as well) , just want to make sure the bike has all the bits before I drop it into the sprayer .

The screws for plastic body bits, like the glovebox re-assembly? Or motor mount shit? http://www.jettin.com/PiaggioProducts/GT200Workshop.pdf |

Re: Vespa GT Screws Puzzle
Sorry it's just the screws on the plastic body work , ie the side fairing , front box , handle bar covers , mudguards
I've the haynes manual , and the above document but doesnt really help much as no dimensions and some are pretty similar in look but slightly different in size. |

On a Gt200 I had earlier and our present two LX150s I found that the screws for the body work were almost a random assortment. For the same position left and right, they would be different on each side. I just decided, "Screw it!" so to speak. If it looked OK, I just left it in.

Don't forget to differentiate between the screws that go into plastic and those that go into U-clips. Tip, when screwing the 'into plastic' ones in, lightly and slowly turn the screws anticlockwise first until you feel them 'click' into the thread they carved for themselves first time. This reduces the chance of stripping the plastic.

Try an check out the Wiki Library for the LX150 owners manual and you can ascertain the screw needed and contact your local dealer or work with Scooterwest and they may be able to help. I believe their parts Search and availbility is current. Good Luck! |
