Anyone used the Fortified GP panels from Glasgow lambretta? Any good? Cheers

Do they soak them in Sanatogen? Only the older scooter rider will understand.

Soak in Irn Bru would be more appropriate for Glasgow.

i have a set of LI panels from them. all good and Nice fit...
good guys....BUSY all of the time. Phone and ask they will get back to you.

i have no idea where their panels come from so the following ramble is just what i surmise

these li panels and another set (LIS TV) i got off another well known supplier, with lots on ebay, look to be exactly the same as every other recent machine pressed panel i have seen or have seen photos of....i.e came out of the factory where they built a machine to press panels

potentially in vietnam, the newspapers they sometimes come packed in tends to be the giveaway.....
maybe india for GP stuff

lets face it most of it comes from vietnam, even parts that you wouldn't think come from vietnam, due to the european name on the box or bag, come from vietnam....Everybody buys from the geezer who built up a new set of tooling, usually to avoid the costs of making the tooling themselves and having to compete to survive while they pay off the massive tooling debt...
...the quality is linked to how much the middle man is willing to pay per unit.
much of this stuff must come in through wholesalers like milvertons in brum

but just my view...i am often totally wrong.

Buckfast...my man...... Buckfast much the same as sanatogen i.e caffeine (masses of it) alcohol 15% and pink in colour....Just made by monks in Buckfast....
drink it and wait for it to come out again ..... 50:50 which end.. or Have a fight..... its good for both

Just looked and they have no stock left!

Try Martin (Corrado) Hyland at Just Lambretta. I think he stocks them.

I think it's a little bit cheeky Glasgow Lambretta sticking their own brand on them really. As far as I know every man and his dog stocks the bare, oiled panels. And they are all the same.
