Another batch of exhaust coming along 👨🏼‍🏭

WR183 - 37HP 🚀

Tomorrow morning’s delivery for one lucky customer. 🚀📦

#gilera #piaggio #2stroke #ottopuntounoracingparts
Over 10 years ago, we started fabricating these KX85 stainless manifold conversions for the Piaggio/Gilera Maxi.
Never imagined they’d still be in demand a decade later, but when something works, it lasts 💪
Designed, built, and tested in-house.

Engine build coming along nicely 🔧

Precision measurements at every stage make the difference between an engine that runs — and one that lasts.

#lambretta #enginebuild #casaperformance #snapon
A simple solution that makes a big improvement.

We’ve been doing this for years to prevent oil blow-by.
The last thing you want on a full new build or a fresh engine is oil from the exhaust covering everything.

A sleeve is machined for the exhaust stub, TIG welded, sealing face skimmed, and it’s good to go — most commonly carried out on PM exhausts for autos.

This was also the reason that we make sure all the exhausts we make have 2 x viton o-rings 

Small detail. Big difference.

A repair we do a lot 👨🏼‍🏭

Lambretta owners will know frames without bracing are prone to cracking around the engine mount.

This one was caught early 👌
✔️ Original weld and crack V’d out
✔️ Re-welded
✔️ Gusset made, added and TIG welded

All that’s left now is a bit of prep and paint, then it’s back on the road where it belongs 🛵💨
