Hi, can anyone tell me the correct Lechler colour code for the wheel rims, hub, front wheel on a 1967 SX150 which was finished in Arancione 8037. Is it the Carter aluminium 8081? Also, what colour would the spare wheel carrier have been?

I think that's the colour everyone uses (it's the colour I used on my late SX150 resto). Have you seen this: https://www.riminilambrettacentre.com/e ... tail/id/76

Yes Trev, he's seen that I sent him the link as well. The hubs and wheels look a more ' flatter ' grey than the GP Aluminium Carter. I think your right in that the later SX's used the Aluminium Carter, but Mitch's SX is 1967.

Yes, Max is correct. Those photos do not properly illustrate the colour. The wheel rims and hubs on my SX are the original colour but it is anyone's guess what that is. It would need a spectrophotometer to compare but even then I doubt it would be accurate given the age of the paint?
Anyone know the colour for certain?
