“Unfortunately most vintage Vespa models have some sort of rust damage, especially towards the rear of the frame. In the past these nasty rusty potholes were extremely time consuming and expensive to repair properly. Nowadays we have various high quality sheet metal frame replacement parts available for wideframe Vespa models produced between 1948 and 1957. They differ primarily in their overall length, or how far the rear frame section extends toward the fuel tank. The range starts for the Vespa 125 V1-15T with its short 180mm frame, up to the rear frame section complete with a fold that allows direct welding to the footpegs. Notice: We also have all floorboards and many other types of replacement body and chassis panels! Conclusion: This finally allows for the complete (and original) restoration of the beautiful wide frame models to their full past glory! Robert Steininger, Vintage Vespa icon, Vienna, Austria: ” Sandro Carlucci. Sandro is an extremely dedicated Vespa mechanic and specialized his experience many years ago with the production of sheet metal replacement parts for his beloved Italian scooter brand. The footrests and frame folds, etc. They are completely 100% identical to the original factory dimensions and stand out in terms of manufacturing quality compared to items available in the Far East of Asia. Whenever I have requested a particular frame part for any Vespa restoration project, I have always been helped by Sandro. In my personal opinion, the chassis parts he produces are absolutely unmatched in their quality.”
