Reinforced Vespa brake drum 10 inch PX T5 etc.

Reinforced brake drum for Vespa PX, T5, LML 2T, Cosa 10 ″

That's an optimized 10 inches Vespa brake drum from Scootopia. This drum simply replaces the old part and impresses with a massively reinforced steel core with significantly larger aluminum struts inside. Externally it is fortunately very similar to the original brake drum, the original look is retained!

Reinforced Vespa brake drum 10 inch PX T5 etc.

 

With the original Piaggio brake drums it was possible to change the stud bolts, with the repro drums available afterwards a change was no longer possible.

With this new Scootopia drum they are Wheel studs can be replaced again, useful if a thread is defective here. In addition, it is cheap and sustainable at the same time, because only a bolt is replaced instead of a complete drum.

Our recommendation for Vespa Largeframe Tuning

Due to the massive construction, the Scootopia brake drum offers significantly more safety. This makes them the preferred choice for all powerful tuning engines.

 

Does the brake drum fit on my Vespa?

The drum fits all Vespa engines with a Ø30mm shaft seal.

If a Shaft seal is also changed (see below), it fits almost Largeframe Engines with 10 inch tires. Therefore e.g. for Vespa Sprint, Rally, TS, GT, GTR etc.. usable.

 

 

Background knowledge 10 inch brake drum Vespa:

With the introduction of the Vespa GL around 1962, a new type of brake drum was established for the rear wheel shaft, which is still used today in almost the same design. With the exception of the GS160 / SS180 and COSA models, this type of drum was used in all Vespa scooters from 1962 with a horizontal cylinder (Vespa Largeframe) installed.

  • 1962-1984: Drum with Ø27mm shaft sealing ring surface, castle nut secured with a split pin. Tightening torque: 75-90NM
  • 1984-1988: Drum with Ø30mm shaft sealing ring surface, hexagon nut secured with cage and split pin Tightening torque: 90-110NM
  • 1988-today: drum with Ø31,5mm unsanded running surface for felt ring, hexagon nut secured with cage and split pin (the actual shaft sealing ring is located here in the gearbox). Tightening torque: 90-110NM

 

The steadily growing flange diameter (from Ø27 to Ø31,5mm) enables a significantly more stable brake drum flange. The models with only Ø27mm tend to expand quickly if the tightening torque was too low. A spread brake drum flange can be seen on a rear wheel that keeps loosening, despite the correct tightening of the rear wheel nut. The only thing that helps here is to replace the brake drum early, otherwise the Main shaft toothing affected pulled and must also be replaced. For reasons of stability, it is always advisable to change to a drum with a flange diameter of 30mm.

Brake drum conversion

BRAKE DRUM UPGRADE old to new (27mm => 30mm)

The more stable drum of the PX Lusso models from 1984-1988 can also be used on the older years of construction with a Ø27mm drum, provided that the shaft seal of the Lusso models with Ø30mm and the washer of the models from 1984 onwards are used there.

BRAKE DRUM DOWNGRADE new to old (31,5mm => 30mm)

The latest type of brake drum (1988-today) no longer has a ground running surface and is therefore unsuitable for combination with a shaft seal. An internal shaft seal and an external felt ring were used ex works on models from 1988 onwards. Here, too, the Lusso drum from 1984-1988 can be used and converted to a conventional shaft sealing ring (TIP: If the inner shaft sealing ring is omitted here, please make sure to close the drip hole in the housing.

Brake T5 rear 005 (2)

Conversion to adjustable brake cable Vespa PX, Rally, Sprint,

The brake pad wear of the front brake of the PX series up to 1998 and the PK-XL can be easily adjusted without tools using the well-known knurled screw on the brake cable.

On the Vespa PX125T5, this luxury can even be found on the rear brake.
With this model, Piaggio has already seen that the fiddly-to-use adjusting screw in hard-to-reach places is no longer state-of-the-art.

We leave the no longer available Piaggio original part of the T5 in excellent quality reproduce.

Greater braking force with the same pedal force

The brake arm fits almost all Vespa Largeframe Models and is one meaningful improvement especially for all PX before 1984, as well as rally, sprint and co, because the brake arm is longer and a greater braking force is generated with the same pedal force.

Our practical conversion kit

With the Set for retrofitting every PX can be brought up to the state-of-the-art.

The solution for perfectionists with a T5 brake cable

In order to carry out the conversion, a slot must be made in the cable guide of the brake pedal. The T5 brake cable has a cast nipple at each end and can therefore no longer be threaded through the bare hole in the cable guide on the pedal. In addition, the M8 set screw on the PX engine blocks must be removed and drilled to the size of the brake cable abutment.

 

 

The simple adapter solution

Those who shy away from the effort described above can easily fall back on the variant with our adapter for the pulling thread:

If the brake cable is not to be completely replaced, we also offer a fast one Adapter solution

Conversion for Largeframe Our Oldies

For the Vespa Largeframe Models with an external brake pedal, such as Vespa Rally, Sprint, VNA, VNB, etc., can also be converted either with the adapter or with one loose brake cablethat has one end with the matching thread.

The simple installation using a Vespa PX

Here we briefly present the conversion using the example of a Vespa PX.

In order to be able to replace the brake arm, it is necessary to remove the brake cam.
In order to gain access to the cam, the rear wheel and the brake drum are dismantled.

 

cap and Sapwood remove

 

 

Dismantle the rear wheel

 

and then the brake drum remove.
ohne impact wrench is the Holding tool for Vespa and Lambretta brake drums a real help.

 

 

If the brake drum is removed, the brake shoes are freely accessible. Here it is worth taking a look at the position of the brake cam.
If the cam is almost 45 ° inclined to the brake shoes with the brake pedal unloaded, as shown here, this is an indication that the Brake shoes are soon worn out.

 

 

 

In order to be able to pull the brake cam a bit out of the guide, it is necessary to Brake shoes to remove. the Retaining rings can be removed quite easily.
However, care should be taken to secure the little nasty things against jumping away.

 

 

 

 

With a wider one screwdriver the jaws can be spread apart and removed one at a time. Shouldn't the brake shoes
are replaced, it makes sense to mark the installation position on one of the brake shoes. As can be seen in the picture above based on the abrasion,
the approaching brake shoe is subject to a different wear pattern than the decelerating brake shoe. Therefore, it makes sense to remove the brake shoes when reassembling
to put them back in their accustomed place.

 

 

After unhooking the spring for the brake arm is the Safety split pin accessible. Once the split pin has been removed, the Brake cam pulled out
become and gives the Feder and the brake arm free.

 

 

 

The brake cam is provided with a franking in which a Fat storage is introduced for long-term lubrication. Just fill up if necessary.

 

 

If the brake cam has the latest lubricant technology, the brake arm and the spring can be installed.

 

 

Do not forget the cotter pin before attaching the spring.

 

 

In this case, new brake shoes are used. To protect the guides from corrosion and to prevent the brake shoes from seizing up,
will be here copper paste applied.

 

With the main shaft as support, the brake shoes are placed in the guides.

 

 

The Mother the Lusso main shaft with SW24, for example, is fitted with a torque fastened by 110Nm.

 

 

Before cutting the old inner cable to length, check whether the Adjusting screw is on “0”.

 

The required pull length for the adapter can be determined based on the position of the brake arm. The pull should be right right up to the end of the arm
are sufficient. the Cable shears ensures a clean and safe cut without the cable fraying.

 

 

Push the adapter up to the end of the inner cable and secure it with the clamping screw. After the first test braking, check whether the end of the train
is still in the same position. If not, the clamping screw must be checked and retightened.

 

 

So that the adjusting nut on the adapter is easy to move at all times and does not corrode, a little copper paste can also be used here.

 

 

Mount the rear wheel again and the wild ride can go on.

 

[inspic = 59, left, fullscreen, thumb] Simply brilliant! By opening the screw by half a turn, the brake line can be bled in seconds. The constant opening and closing between pumping processes is no longer necessary. This means that one person can bleed the brake system. The annual brake fluid change only takes a few minutes.

[inspic = 60, left, fullscreen, thumb] [inspic = 78, leftclear, fullscreen, thumb]

The spring-loaded ball and the O-ring sealed thread guarantee an absolutely clean working process without brake fluid dripping onto painted components.

The main body of the bleeder screw remains firmly in the brake calliper, so that the brake calliper can no longer be damaged by the usual “open-close” during bleeding.

The vent screw has been tested by the TüV and can be used in all brake systems (including ABS). In addition to Formula 1, this useful system is already used in aviation and shipping.
