If something needs to be screwed to the Vespa, it is often worthwhile to raise the scooter to reach the low-lying parts more comfortably. An assembly stand is also a very useful support for simple tire changes and should definitely not be missing from any (hobby) workshop.
This is a good opportunity for inventive DIY people. Anything that is even halfway suitable for jacking up is used as an aid.
At the top of the hit list is the beer crate, which is clamped under the rear end after the front wheel has been removed. Whether it is full or empty remains to be seen. Some handy men and women claim that to the screw necessarily also a beer belongs. Also we leave once in such a way. As long as after the enjoyment of the “people amusement water” our Diva is not driven, everyone should decide that for itself.
For work on the engine are often used small wooden parting or other temporary aids, which often leads to the opposite of a successful repair. And especially the engine is not to be trifled with during precision work. Therefore, there are also special assembly stands of any class for this purpose.
