Fitted the last pieces of the bodywork to my 150dl rebuild this afternoon for the purpose of taking photographs for the DVLA registering process and unfortunately a major problem was spotted.
The rim of the Rimini supplied Casa Lambretta headlight unit just would not fit into the std. matched italian headset.
About 2mm too narrow in width and 2mm too narrow in height.
I can fully understand cheap indian remakes being out of tolerance but Rimin/Casa?!
wasnt cheap either.
Whats the best way of ensuring a good fit?
buy several rims and trial and error?
Im a bit wary of taking a dremel to the brightly polished rim, neither do i want to dremel the newly painted headset.
Any advice welcomed.
Cheers
