This is a personal pet project, so I can blog as I go. I would generally send bodies out for preparation and paint, but I am doing this myself for the fun of it. I also look forward to building up a blueprinted GS150 motor for touring. Every week I build standard and tuned vespa largeframe engines, so the variety will be fun. No performance parts off the shelf on this one.

Past my prime.
Made a frame jig from an old large frame- wide body adaptor and some heavy duty pipe. Came up dead on, with a single laser plane intersecting the rear light holes, seat pin, frame tunnel and running up the centre of a ten foot pole protruding from the steering column

Ok maybe I am getting too cryptic with the titles.
Anyway today I installed the clutch and flywheel which, on a GS or SS, go one two crank tapers.
The Vespatronic stator needs fettling to fit nicely on the cast boss of the GS case.
Likewise the original fan needed some time consuming but careful dremelling to fit over the boss on the vespatronic magneto.
The clutch I used is a combination of a specialty centre made to fit the tapir (oops) while allowing the use of a p200e 7 spring clutch. Combined with a 23 tooth DRT driving gear/bottom plate this raises the gearing slightly to improve touring speed.
