I had never seen this before on an S3

Stripping and rebuilding an S3, Li125.

The rear running plastic strips have 2 bolts at the dog leg frame struts, two holes on the foot boards, and 1 1/2 holes in the dogleg struts (almost like they were S2 doglegs cut short to suit the narrow width)

Trying to source the rear running strips to match and cant find any... any suggestions? The nuts were so badly rusted on that they had to be cut off.

Yours must be an early series 3. It’s a long time since I had one but, from memory, standard S3 plastic strips fit.

[ToBoldlyGo]

Yes, as Storkfoot says, early S3. Bit of overkill really. You only need the one. Later strips will fit and cover the second hole.

Theres a picture of the dogleg of an early series 3 in stickys manual,second edition on page 157.
