Vespa Brake Arms made by Grimeca, have large swivel type wrap-around or loop pinch bolts. So the brake arms have very large holes. Early Tomos also had loop pinch bolt assemblies, but each piece was slightly smaller than Vespa.

 

Vespa Carb Elbow for the Ciao model must be “90 degree”#2a, because the center panel/floor is low.

 

Vespa Controls made by Domino, on the brake cables, have bottomless holes with M6-1.0 threads, so they require upper M6-1.0 adjusters. Most other Italian mopeds have the same controls but have slotted holes with bottoms, that do not need adjusters.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Domino Socket Bolts: 1970’s Italian moped brake levers and start lever use these adapter pieces to convert the pear end to a longer sideways barrel. They are more than just an adapter, because they have a slot for the inner wire to pass through, to allow installation. There are two lengths, 16mm for brake levers, and 14mm for decomp/start levers. It is important to have the cable wire centered in the lever. So there is a groove that the sheet metal lever sits in when the lever is squeezed. That groove keeps the socket bolt from sliding sideways. Without that groove, the cable still functions, but maybe not as well, or it might make a “click” sound and feel, when it does not stay centered. A longer one will substitute for a short one, with a 8mm washer under it. But the washer covers the centering groove, so it might not perform as well as an original.  

 

 

 

 

Vespa Grande Decomp Cable: Because the Grande has that foot rest above the engine, the decomp cable is longer and routed differently than the other Vespa models.
