dank je.. heb je ervaring met dit model?

Hi, Im restoring a 1960 VGLA (with same rearlight and speedo ass VBA/VBB) and have an electrics question: I compared my electric wiring with some diagrams from www.scooterhelp.com and came to the conclusion that my scoot has a combination of a VBA1t with battery and a VGLA/B without battery diagram. My scoot doesn't have a batterie at the moment but I think it was taken out because I do have a rectifier in it and the wires that are attached to it go nowhere. I have a couple of questions 1) Is the statorplate in a scoot with battery the same as a scoot withoiut battery?in other words can I restore it two ways with my statorplate? 2) Can the same handlebar switches be used in a scoot with and without battery? (my handlebar switch has 9 nr on it whereas the no batttery scoots hav less nr's on the handlebar switch in the diagrams) 3) What is better to restore it like; with or without battery; that's a big difference for me because I have to buy a new horn, new brakeswitches etc. Danke!

I live in the netherlands so that'll probably be a hassle.. do you have experience with rebuilding speedo's?

Hi, Im restoring my 1960 VBB and took the speedo apart because i wanted to reset the milelage counter to 0. after taking the glas, the faceplate and the plate with the red arrow off, the inside mechanism was exposed. When I did this the little spring that keeps the handle that operates the red wheel sprang way. (My english is bad sorry!) anyway, I cannot figure out how the original configuration is; i can't get it back into place! I also am curious what the original configuration of the small white cogs is; I can't seem to figure out what their setting is either. Does anybody have some pictures of the inside of the speedo so i can figure out how to put things into place? Thanks!!

mmm Yes they don't look like theyre in perfect condition , but there aren't very terrrible either..i donn't know really..is there no easy way? thanks

Im restoring a 1960 VGLB1 and want to do a full engine rebuild..i'd like to replace the engine swingarm buffer blocks (silent gummis) but I wonder if there is a way to do this youreselfwithout the special tools... any tips would be handy!

Does anybody know wich company on the net sells a repait kit for my Vglb1 (same as VBB and T4 I think...) ? I need the 4 springs, the front and backplate and the rivets offcourse.. Danke!

Thanks! I was guessing that would be the case; it's kinda weird though because the manuals say you can drive it out from that direction and I think they're talking about the same type engines..It's like that quite often though :) cheers

I'm restoring my 1960 VGLB and have the following problem.. I'm trying to get the inlay-shaft out of the primary drive but i can't seem to get it work. I removed the nut on the outside of the casing and drove the shaft through a bit so that the christmas tree with the shaft still inside comes out of the casing and the needle bearings fall out. I'ts out for about 4 cm but now I can't get it out further. I tried heating the christmas tree and tapping the shaft out form the bearing side with a hammer and a drift but it's won't work. The manuals (Haynes, DarneL&Golfen) say that the shaft is easy to just push through and that you should be carefull that it won't "fall out"..I wish it was that easy :) Am I doing something wrong here? thanks already..

I finally did it..took me a couple of hours but while heating up the entire cases and tapping at the right spots whith a hammer on and a wooden drift i managed to get them apart.. thanks guys!

thanks for the tips! I'm gonig to make a picture of the cylinder and put it on the forum..

Im restoring my 1960 VGLA1t I just took of the cylinder and want to clean it and the piston. I'm going to clean the engine casings and all the parts with a strong degreaser; can i treat the cylinder etc. with the same.? I hear people also use a dremel tool to clean it and the ports; wich accessory is needed for that and how do you clean exactly? My cylinder is also rusted at the outside; can you get rid of that; do you need to have it blasted or is it sufficient to just spray it with heat-resistant black paint? Finally, how do you know when it is time for a rebore? My scooter ran before I took it apart but Im very unexperienced and do not know how the performance was... Can anybody give me some good tips on how to proceed? Thanks !

I'm looking for a wiring harness for my vespa VGLA (see link: electrics VGLA1t) does anybody know which company on the net sells it? thanks!

Dus de koperen bedrading kan gewoon met wasbenzine schoongemaakt worden? sommige mensen adviseren de condensator en de punten sowieso te vervangen; maar als hij goed liep zou jij dat niet doen? dank!

Okay..but clean what exactly? (met wasbenzine; ben ook nederlands :) ) the points, and the coils as well?

I'm restoring a 1960 VGLA and just taken my flywheel and stator plate of. The stuff looks old (it's over 40 years old ofcourse) dusty and the metal parts are a bit oxidated. The engine worked before i took the scooter apart. What and how should I clean ( the copper coils etc.)..? Can anybody give me a few good pointers on how to go on? thanks!

Thanks! I understand now

Im restoring a VGLA1t and i am about to take of the flywheel..when do you know that it is time to let it remagnetize and how much does that cost you? I also read in the Haynes Manual that when you take the flywheel off and the stator plate is still on the engine you have to "bridge the flywheel with soft iron in to prevent demagnetizing"does anybody know what they mean by that? And how you do this exactly? I read that after you takre of the stator plate yolu just put that in to prevent demagnetizing but what do you place in there before that? thanks!

Can anyboody tell me what the original color of the frame of the single saddle's on 1960 vespa's was? My VBB is going to be blue but I do not know what to do with the saddle frames..Thanks!
