Modern Vespa

Thanks John. I'm interested in the 2x 8"wheels, and 2x whitewall tires. I'll pass on the P-series cowls for now, incase someone else needs them more than I do. I've go my ratty cowls for my rat-P.

I've should have a Carb box top, and maybe rubber. I'll go look in the shop today.

malossi 210 head and polini manifold added to have items above, see need items above

Interested in the Malossi head

more cleanup, you guys are keeping me busy

(updated 7/21)

Have:
VBB seats (two bare ones remain, but if you hit up greasy he will give you a white seat cover, really)
1 VBB tank (the surface rusted one is still here, see pic last page)
Stock 2 port exhaust
Large frame shock (red, see last page for pic)
P series cowls (see new picture last page, they have character )
Rear rack for p but shipping is kinda spendy
Stella horn cast - silver
Cut Stella fender (see new picture below)
Polini Large Carb manifold for 200


Need:
Px style speedo
Px floor mats, mine were trashed and I’m gonna have to do a bit of floor rust management
VBB fender
VBB speedo or VNA speedo, I have both styles of headset but no speedo
Carb box top and rubber (maybe covered...)
Carb to frame bellows
brake shoes 8" or 10" new
brake drum front for vbb
vbb horn

I don't need the three speed shift box but I could use a cover for it if you have an extra.

Got a carb box top for the VBB, remind me to give it to you when you drop off the carrier

cool, do I need a different carb box to the later engines to use on vbb?

Oh yeah, I have 2 different carb box tops. One for early, the other for injected later motor. Let me know if you need either one if you're not already covered-

I'll take a look in the morning. I'm sure I have it, don't know why it's not in the box with the engine though. I do have a bag of stuff I took off in the shop, I'll dig into that tomorrow morning.

You got it man.
I'll poke around in the morning see if there's anything glaring I'm missing.

I still have your address in a PM so I'll ship that out hopefully tomorrow but more likely on Wednesday.

You are the man! Thanks so much. It’ll get put to use on the ‘79 Patina200E

add to my haves list:
small frame 4 plate clutch setup corks/steels/stronger spring

new in box. find something in my needs list - or maybe you have large frame clutch packs sitting around?

Clutch parts gone

OK, some new haves and some new wants, plus I'm bringing all the pictures forward again.

Have:
VBB seats (two bare ones remain, but if you hit up greasy he will give you a white seat cover, really)
1 VBB tank (the surface rusted one is still here, see pic below)
Stock 2 port exhaust
Large frame shock (red, see pic below
P series cowls (see pic below, they have character )
Rear rack for p (see pic below)
Cut Stella fender (see pic below)
Polini Large Carb manifold for 200
Stella seat that needs recovering (seat material crumbly from sun exposure)
Corsa large frame seat with tears at seams but good foam and structure


Need:
36t EFL/Stella 4th loose gear
Malossi piston for 166, standard bore
22t clutch gear
brake and clutch levers for P
Px floor mats, mine were trashed and I’m gonna have to do a bit of floor rust management
VBB speedo or VNA speedo, I have both styles of headset but no speedo
Carb box top and rubber (maybe covered...)
brake shoes 8" or 10" new
brake drum front for vbb
vbb horn
p-series or Stella rear bumper/mud flap

"race" seat for smallframes (actually, might fit on a largeframe too, now that I think about it, but it came off my ET3. I can check out the sizing on my P2 if you're interested).

Make unknown.

As you can see, it's not in great shape (do note the "tear" isn't all the way through - it's just a split in the vinyl outer coating) - but 1) it's actually surprisingly comfortable, 2) it latches and pivots fine, and 3) it's a seat, which I do find to be preferable to the alternative .

Lemme know if you want it - you pay shipping and it's yours

Anyone have a VNA seat frame or full seat?

wouldn't the vbb ones I have bare above be the same?

Interested in one of those vbb seat frames if still available

Yeah, got you covered, send a pm. Just pay shipping. Have a look and see if you might have any of my wants above, especially the VBB stuff. If not, you can still have it, but consider offering something up for the people.

Thank you SDJohn. I don't have any Vespa parts, however if anyone needs 34pic VW carburetor let me know. I'll post picture later.

SaFiS has a sweet front hub on his 50 Special build. And perhaps you can too.

New LML "star" disc hub, came on my '13 Stella 4T. Pulled it instantly and replaced it with a new 2T hub. If this has more than a mile or two on it, I'd be surprised. No wear or corrosion, that's the shipping schmoo LML put on the scoots. Nothing wrong with the studs; has the plastic thread protectors from the 2T hub on them for safekeeping (and apparently to keep the threads nice during the painting process).

Don't have a purpose for it now and my garage needs a good cleaning.

Hub is spoken for. Thanks!

Have:

2 - small frame fuel tanks (no holes)
2 - 10" wheels (new)

Need:

Inside leg shield 8" spare tire mount for Allstate/VNB

Bumping this for a last call on that sport seat - free to a good home if you pay the shipping. It goes in the bin otherwise, can't store it any more if I want to go forward with new scooter dreams!

Please see my earlier post above for a few more details

I need a sport seat! I'll PM you my address and you tell me how much to ship it!

Haha ^^^, still my goto filler seat when needed on most builds, bracket for large frame and smallie. Sleek and a sexy looker, but cheap made and uncomfy for me before long . Get it while you can, it's really not half bad... And hit me up if you need the smallie adapter, I seem to have two.

Seat is off to Chandlerman for a new lease on life!

That's what this thread is all about 😎

Thats the way to do it!

Anyone have a VBB front suspension arm they can spare?
Stripped is ok.

Prominent member is desperate for a useable set of VBA style cowls, and has mentioned it a few times, but is too proud to beg. If you have ANYTHING that might work, please speak up, as he is begining to stress out pretty badly . I'm pretty sure that he will step up and pay a King's ransom if you are holding, I know that he paid through the nose for a damn fork recently just because it was for a damn SS180 he built from odd bits & pieces he scrounged up

When I restored my VBA I bought a new glovebox side because it was a little beat up and it was easier to replace it.

I think it could be saved with a little determination. Free to a good home with postage.

Can you not buy them new anymore?

WOW- Just want to say thank you to V oodoo For a helping hand on this one!!

Vintage, thank you VERY much and I sent you a PM.

I am on the hunt for the engine side cowl and the wallet is open. I promise it will go to a good home and will be paired with a first class restoration of a 1959 VBA that will be completed in Dec/Jan and will be my personal showpiece. (along with the SS of course)

You guys are the best.

Wondering if anyone has these 2 things laying around…

I need a fork bearing cup for a VNA/VNB/VBA/VBB

and either 2 loose ball bearings or bearings in a cage for the top of the fork. As an aside does anyone know what size cage I'd need? I'm sure there's a local store that'd have one I just dunno what size it takes.

Oh also those grommets that go on the brake light studs. Anyone have a pair of them?

What diameter are those bearings? You can purchase loose balls for bearings.

https://www.mcmaster.com/bearings/stainless-steel/

Loose balls come two per box-ers.

Good question. My calipers went for a walk and didn't come back last week. Should probably file a missing tool report

Took a loose ball to the hardware store with me and they had plenty! 5/32 is their size if anyone ever needs that info.

Just need the bottom cup and those rubber bushings for the taillight now.

LOL not always Polyorchidism, some men have more balls than others.
