Conversion Details

Here's some more detailed pictures about the frame conversion.

This is a shot of the underseat arrangement. You can easily spot the oil intake that replaces the air scoop. Yep, auto lube on a Lambretta. Easy to install since the Skipper engine comes with everything in place to install it.

The carb is a PHBL Dell'Orto that comes with two extra intakes - one for the oil and another for a fuel pump (which you don't need on a Lambretta).

Next some detailed views of the frame.
Stoffi converts the frame so that a ZIP 50 double link can be used. This dramatically decreases the engine vibrations passed to the frame. It comes at a price though - the engine is a bit wobbly sometimes. Looks a lot worse than it feels. Rocksolid thanks to the excellent rear shockers available for the twist'n'gos.






The side section showing the fuel tank, carb, rear shocker, glovebox, etc. Quite easy to tell that you can keep most of your Lambretta components. Making this a pretty cheap conversion.
