LI series 1 horncast advice please

[andrewgc]

Guys
About 12 months ago i bought a series 1 framebreather horncast off fleabay in readiness for my long term project. Now that i am getting close to being ready to fit it i dont actually think it is from a a series 1 as the lower section only sticks out by some 5 inches and does not look bulbous enough. it is stamped innocenti on the rear and does have an indelible series number .
Can any of you help please by measuring a known series 1 horncast. i would upload pics but it keeps on telling me the file is too big

cheers for the Pic , i have seen one of them and it measures a full 8 inches front to back at the bottom , the one i bought is only 5 inches my query is which one is correct?

[Donnie]

Im sure it hasn't but I have to ask, is the horn on the outside just below the headlight on your one? You didn't get done by buying an LD one did you?

[andrewgc]

Hi,

No the horn is not on the outside, the more i look the more im certain it aint right , but to help me sell it on it would be good to identify it. I will try and get a picture up later

[steveg]

Search Lambretta mk3 Ld horncast image and compare yours to that

[andrewgc]

did that and it aint one of them

[steveg]

did that and it aint one of them

That's good news. Have a look at the info on how to load pictures as it will definitely help to see it viewtopic.php?f=24&t=400

Here is a side on picture of the horncast i have

The rear profile doesn't look correct to me. Should be more angled at the base, has it been modified in any way?

[andrewgc]

Doesn't appear to have been modified at all ?

[Danbretta]

It's not been modified to fit on series 3 legshields has it? Just a thought as the profile looks closer to a series 3 horncast...

[andrewgc]

Possibly so who knows?

One things for sure if the reproduction one that digger has posted a picture of above is an accurate copy of a series 1 framebreather horncast then mine don't look like that

[Digger]

Does it fit your legshields?

Diggers photo is definitely right.

Andrew, as above. The bottom edge just doesn't look right. I will measure mine today for you.

The outer circumference on mine measures roughly 445 mm give or take a few mm are the 2 inner tapped holes still there that fasten it to the mudguard or have they been removed can't tell from photo hope this helps 445 mm is around the base where it fastens to mudguard

[andrewgc]

thanks mate,

the one i have is nowhere near that , however i have sourced another one and in fairness it does measure 445mm so at least thats good news:)
. my next challenge is identify what the blue one in my pic is off so that i can try and sell it and recoup some of the money i spent out on it
