Missing from the screen mounting kit for my Vespa, which I removed the other day in order to get to some internal wiring.

Damn thing dropped inside the bike and even after removing all the panels it could not be found as it's found its way inside the chassis.

Not a big problem for the bike but I need a replacement to refit the screen.



It's a sort of chamfered washer. Fits over an M8 bolt.

It's on this badly drawn diagram from the Italian makers.



I will try emailing the manufacturer as well but thought I'd try the PH mind at first.

I’d call it William.
I think he’s a ‘fairing washer.’

I’d call him Dick personally.
I name all sorts.
Yesterday -
Me “Larry is ok, thank god, clean bill of health”
OH “who’s Larry - it’s not covid is it? Do I know him?”
Me “Larry the lawnmower”
OH “FFS”

Check out eBay motorbike bits - fairing washer/mount/bolt etc?
