Scootopia rear hub

Postby TrackTen » Sat Jan 13, 2018 2:56 pm

Hi Guys

I am replacing a Uni rear hub with one of the stronger type Scootopia ones

The threads in the Scootopia hub are onely tapped ( actual threaded part ) to 6mm deep but the Uni one is threaded 10mm deep. this means my lock washer Allen bolt bottoms out in the thread before clamping the washer - 6mm doesn’t sound like a lock for when I need to pull the bulb in the future.

Does anyone know if the 6mm depth is correct for this hub or do a I have an ‘odd’ one ?

Thanks Tractorman

I thought this didn’t seem right

A part for a Lambretta that doesn’t fit - fancy that lol

Just tried mine which I've had a while. Threads were really tight so run a tap down and now OK with around 10mm thread which I need as I have a JPP rear locking plate and the bolts need 10 mm
