Can anyone give a personal recommendation on someone who is good at refurbishing Vespa speedos please?

I have successfully done my own Lambretta ones in the past and it's true that they appear very similar. It's getting the bevel off that puts me off having a go myself.

It's an original Rally 200 speedo. Speedo has not worked since I owned it but odometer did. The cogs on that now seem to be fusing together and turning at once.

Hi

I'm lead to believe there was a place in London that did it, but sadly long gone now.

The other one is speedoking.com.

Only trouble is its in the states, I believe he is very good though!

Good luck with it

Best regards Paddy

Paddy, yes, I know about the bloke in the States. I'd have a go of butchering, sorry refurbishing, it myself before I sent it that far. "Google" indicates that Retrospective in London may do it so I have just sent them an email ( scooter dealer to reply to email Shock )

Thanks

If you need any bits give me a shout I may be able to help you out

Thanks very much.

Paul

Retrospective don't. They have recommended the lad in the States, Speedo King.

Surely there is someone in the UK?

Jem Booth works wonders with lambretta ones - cant be much difference, worth a try ?

Maskes Vespa offer the service on their web shop... http://www.maskesvespaparts.com/Webwink ... meter.html ... they're based in Holland (I know your looking for 'UK') but still a lot closer than California... and cheaper aswel!

Never used them myself - but maybe worth a try...

Excellent. I'll follow both of those leads up. Thanks, lads.

my friend john can get the vespa needles off but I have never managed it with out damage, I even tried a cheap chinese instrument needle puller which just broke up, they are very stiff,you might have to heat it it with a soldering iron and then pull lever it,
I will ask him, you tube needle /clock hand removal and vespa speedos some one will have it, Steve Burdette is good but the post to usa makes it costly
