Air Temperature Limit?
With the 100+ air temperatures we are experiencing on the NC coast right now, I was wondering if there is a maximum air temperature limit for operating a series 3?

i have a question and it may be a dumb one but i'd like to know... i have a gp200 motor in my li2. the engine was built w/ new s.i.l. (?) cases from e-bay and work fine, HOWEVER there are no numbers on the case... i have seen new s.i.l. cases advertised on there and no numbers were notated but really, is this a thing? i would like to get it street leagal but what would i tell the d.m.v?
The solid peg that is the upper mount for the rear shock on this Serveta Jet is measuring 22mm in diameter, while normal Series 3 Lambretta shock bushing tubes are 18mm in diameter. Lets just say that fitting a new and expensive shock to this Jet isn't going to slip right on there.
Issue solved. I put a strong vice grip clamp on the tube and hammered it loose, allowing me to work it off. The seam was covered by powder coat.
Does anyone know a way to secure the front brake "i" cap cover? I have lost 2 on the road. Picture below for reference

You could install a grub screw to force it into place and keep it from coming out, but then you have a big grub screw stuck on the side of your back plate. I would try flexing the legs of the cap outward just a little bit so it bites into the back plate a little stronger or and maybe in conjunction with some use of some low-grade Loctite so it sticks together.
After market cases didn't normally have numbers on them.
You have some options. I'm not a lawyer or DMV employee so YMMV.
Do nothing and tell the DMV that it didn't come with a number. They might issue you one or kick the whole thing out or treat it like a custom build. None of which are great.
If you stamp the same number from your frame you risk using a number that's on file (frame and motor don't normally match unles it's spanish). Same problem if you just make one up.
If it were me I'd find a junk case that will never be on the road and copy those numbers to your new block. Destroy the old block. Again this could be legally iffy.
Good luck
