Your a clever chap well done so far you could call it Frankenstein when it’s finished 😆😆😆👏👏👏👍

[@robertthomas1717]

That's some impressive engineering you've done there

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks Rob. Really wasn't sure how well it would work until the end. 😉

[@PRINCEZAK1]

The best of telly I've seen in ages, the effort you put into the build as well as the video is fantastic. Well done.

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks. Yeah, a lot of time went into this so far, and my longest ‘episode’ to date. But I hope it’s going to turn out well!

[@douglastalbot8031]

Great job, you need to cap the end of the frame where it was cut and any open tubes to stop them rusting from the inside out. Will also increase strength and look neater.

[@insideout2600]

That was really really great !!! Thanks 😊

[@victorhawkins3461]

I am HOOKED!

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks Victor.

[@flynngiven-garner7728]

Wow this certainly has the potential to be one of the most exciting custom built lambretta’s in while. Definitely looking forward to see how this turns out 👍🏻😃

[@CobwebGarage]

Yeah, I’m excited for the build. Thanks for the comment

[@kickbackgarage]

Thank for for plug buddy! Love you Great video and project.

[@CobwebGarage]

Cheers Rob!

[@koll789]

Great video Scott. Mad project but fascinating. Looking forward to more updates.

[@CobwebGarage]

Hahah, thanks!

[@mikeyfraser5091]

Wow that was awesome Scott. I can’t remember the last time I’ve been so excited to see the next instalment. Love your vids mate.

[@CobwebGarage]

Glad you enjoyed it. Yeah, I’ve been excited to do this build for a while.

[@davestephens6582]

use the frame as a air tank will save a lot of space

[@CobwebGarage]

Now that is a great idea. I’ll give that some serious consideration. Cheers

[@neilbrown6789]

Brilliant idea and cracking video. Can't wait for the next episode.

[@dord1954]

This will be epic 👍😀

[@iainrutherford184]

Ingenious ❤

[@maninst7145]

Great vid! Good on ya!

[@PRINCEZAK1]

Sure it will, keep up the good work.

[@kevinhendon]

Scott, great bit of engineering there mate, going to be a very impressive S1. Can't wait for the next Vid 👍👍

[@anthonypickering5371]

😳😳😳 in the opening scene with all the farting air I thought you was sat on the John 😳😁😂. Great project, intrigued to see how a reasonably sized petrol tank etc, etc will all fit in, but that's all the fun of the fair. Looking forward to the waltzers keeping spinning! 😁👍🛵

[@CobwebGarage]

Yeah, lots of stuff to squeeze in, obviously needs a decent battery for the air ride too. I have a couple of ideas. 😉 cheers

[@anthonypickering5371]

@@CobwebGarage leg shield toolbox will provide some space, no doubt that's already on your radar 👍🛵

[@CobwebGarage]

@@anthonypickering5371maybe. 😉🤫🤣

[@stevewaddy139]

Brilliant video and engineering made all the better and interesting by up grading a Lambretta. Keep the faith.

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks Steve. KTF

[@andrel.7261]

I love the idea of an airride Lambretta! I wish ya good luck for the Work and I can't wait for the results...👍

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks so much!

[@Shane0093]

That's great.....

[@andyp8772]

Sterling work Scott, nice one!

[@davekennedy9060]

Spot on, nice bit of fabrication. Looking forward to the next episode!!

[@CobwebGarage]

Many thanks! Me too. Cheers

[@acooper4482]

Good graft as always Scott. Looking forward to how this goes 👍

[@leDiable1957]

Love it can't wait till next episode, well done Scott some great work🙏

[@Tea-Transport]

Awesome build

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks!

[@PAccYT]

Great work, but I think you also will have problems the manifold when you release the air.

[@stuartrichardson6928]

Love this…. Fucking love it!

[@CobwebGarage]

Cheers Stuart!

[@chriserskine585]

Excellent mate ❤

[@stephenfrancis1418]

Well done on the fabrication. Some thought gone into it 👏👏👏👌

[@CobwebGarage]

Thank you! Cheers!

[@obviousadler8957]

👌 perfect

[@deanbeeston4541]

Hi Scott, how cool, what about trying a single damper for the rear end to reduce the bounce

[@CobwebGarage]

Yeah, one or two dampers needed for sure. Cheers

[@gw9568]

Great video Scot try a online tube notching calculator,print off wrap around pipe and grind works a treat 👍

[@CobwebGarage]

Thanks for the tip!

[@teampacemaker]

Won’t a decent set of beefy dampers effectively become a stop for the ride height (when they max out) instead of (or as well as) making a bump stop? - motorcycle shocks with the spring removed?

[@nm-ge4tb]

🙏🙏👍👍🛵🛵Brilliant series this

[@garyhollins7911]

What about the kickstart when the air is going up and down ?

[@pauldenniss5230]

Would the required air pressure reduce if the suspension doohickey was mounted more towards the rear of the scooter. (I'm not an engineer, just asking the question)

[@CobwebGarage]

Hi. It might help. But those airbags are designed to run at 70 to 100 psi, and the one I have would normally hold up a 2 ton car etc (the Lambretta loop weighs relatively nothing without me sat on it. So I think I either need a smaller airbag, or limit the amount the loop can go up. Cheers!

[@stevenalandoogan]

Not gonna have much of a petrol tank
