Jig

Postby daniel whiteley » Thu Aug 27, 2015 12:37 pm

So ... I'm in Sheffield , where is the closest place to get my frame and forks put on the jig for checking , I think the forks are fine but may as well get them checked at same time as the frame has been dropped on the rear of the loop and had a knock on front support struts and needs a quick mount on jig
Mike Phoenix is in Manchester but is there anyone closer ? Does Jason at absolutely scooters do it or is there anyone recommended closer to Sheffield
Cheers

Didn't know that and it's my neck of the woods! Do they know about Lambretta's though?

Sheffield to Manchester? What's the problem? I drove from Ipswich to the Lake District to get a small frame Vespa checked. When I got there, the frame was found to be straight.

Ho hum. Nice scenery.

Good luck with your search.

As I say Paul, it's in my work area and pass regularly and even visit them on a job but never ever seen a Lambretta there either for repair or sale,
