Gordon, just checked the afrayspeed link posted by cleanorbust and he is correct, the shoes are listed for the models i mentioned and look exactly the same as mine, reasonably priced at about £9 sterling. Steve.

Hi Gordon, i have just checked a spare pair of shoes that i have and the pivot hole is 12mm as you say, they also have only one return spring between them instead of the usual two, they have "Made in Italy " embossed on them, but no part number. I did not have to make any changes to the brake plate, the new shoes fitted straight on. I have found the receipt for my shoes and it states that they are Lambretta, to fit models LI, TV, GT and SX all from 1959 onwards. Hope this will help you source some. As a last resort you could have your shoes relined, this is what i now do and keep rotating my spare set whilst the worn ones are away. Regards Steve.

Hi, i cannot see from your picture what type your hubs are, but i have a Wassell fitted with R E H hubs (Robin Humphries), it took me ages to find out what brake shoes Mr Humphries used, i finally discovered that he took standard Lambretta scooter ones straight off the shelf and designed the brake plate to suit. if yours are the same i can say that they are unusual in the fact that the "hinge" end of the shoe is a complete round hole that pivots on a pole fixed to the brakeplate, it is held in place with a circlip. Hope this is of some help, Steve.
