Since I wanted to keep the original looks of the scooter handlebar as clean as possible and I’d like the rear brake light to engage when braking with the front brake, I’ve opted for the old PX style switch.
The way to go is to cut the brake outer and stick this plastic thing in between. Connect the cables as you would on the foot brake switch and just thread a control cable through.
In the last delivery I had received a hydraulic hose with the wrong angle on the banjos. After returning it I received a replacement with straight angled banjos.
I connected it up to see if the length of the cable and the angle of the banjos would work. Will have to correct the alignment and angle since it touches the dust cap right now. I may say that the setup looks solid and will probably work. 
I do get a good clearance from the tyre and that’s most important. I wouldn’t want them to touch.
It will be interesting is to see how the Scootrs slave cylinder works. It is held in place by the original circlip.
Speedometer
I have been browsing the web on Lambretta Speedometers.
It’s definitely not an easy task. The market doesn’t have much to choose from and if you judge by peoples impressions around the forums most of it will not work.
My TV175 came without a speedo. Probably a part a former owner sold of or user on a running bike. Ebay didn’t offer any good choices in finding original CEV Lambretta speedos.
SIP Speedo you say. Well I actually bought one. Before I started reading up on forums. The problem is that is doesn’t fit on the TV/SX/LIS headset.
Most people have trouble with the speedo cable being to far back and touching the fork stem. I even had the påroblem where the throttle brass roller on the TV and the plastic one on my LIS touched the speedo.
I’m not a fan of having to modify the scooter to fit a expensive speedo so I returned it and got a refund. I waited till now to see if a second version would show up. Bad luck. SIP confirmed this week on the scooterotica forum that they didn’t see any problem and wont produce a second better batch.
That leaves me with the problem of finding a replacement speedo. Indian from Cam Lam? Indian from scooter restorations, expensive from Casa Lambretta or a special one from speedoking. Also that quite expensive.
Or wait for pure luck if someone wants to sell his original one. Or I’ll just fit a bicycle computer instead. guess that the TV wont top speed above 99KPH.

Cable setup and rear light
It’s increasingly getting to be small tasks time with the scooter now that the engine is in the frame.
I decided to hook the cables up. The clutch feels great now. Took me a while. Since I own a 3.5mm key, I decided to use the old cable trunions. This task is probably done way to early and will have to be redone again probably later on.
I also connected the rear light unit. It was missing a ground cable which I’ve added. This is the original CEV type rear light. The scoot is from 1962 and one of the first 1000 TV175 series 3.
I am doing a full DC electrics with the Wassel unit and modified Indian stator. The modification and the loom was supplied by Beedspeed. Top service.
So because of that I’m going for led lights! Lets hope it works
This the power feed and break pedal wires connected to the real light unit.
here’s how the original connections look like. There’s 2 slots labelled M, I used one to connect the ground cable.
