Classic Moped Restoration

The Joy of Classic Moped Spares Restorations

Classic Moped Saddles

At Classic Moped Spares I don't just sell parts I really do care about restoring mopeds and enjoy hearing from customers who have brought their machines back to life. Really wish I had more time to do restoration projects as it is so rewarding getting the machines finished.

Here are some pictures of a saddle that has just been restored for a customer:-

What a great addition this will make to a Raleigh RM6 Runabout Moped. The saddle frame has been treated then coated in rust proof paint using an electrostatic process in an attractive green colour. The stitched cover has then been added to give an amazing finished product. Once fitted to a Moped this will really add a great finishing touch.

What's the point of Mobylette Woodruff Keys?

Replacement Mobylette Woodruff Keys?

Mobylette in later models stopped fitting woodruff keys or (French referred to as 'Clavette disque tambour embrayage').

Mobylette/Motobecane also stopped supplying and replacing woodruff keys. I understand that keys were not replaced, because the potential damage that they could cause to an engine if they were to break was quite severe. The nature of the key was that it was also quite likely that they would snap/break

Classic Moped Spares do not and have not sold woodruff keys for Mobylette Mopeds. (click here not to buy)

An example of an early model with woodruff key (part 224):-

An example of later models with no woodruff key:-

Restoration Labels, Transfers or Stickers for Classic Mopeds

Labels, transfers or stickers? What's the harm?

When restoring mopeds I always have opted for good quality reproduction transfers. These transfers are UK manufactured using traditional techniques and when applied correctly will provide the best possible finishing touch to any restoration.

Transfers also give the option to position the image on the bike in the exact position required compared to stickers.

Regrettably I have had complaints from customers whom have bought sheets of sticky labels thinking they are getting a bargain. What they have received are home made copies on standard label paper printed from poor quality standard colour printers. The cost of a sheet of label paper is currently pennies, the cost of ruining a restoration? 

To restore a bike I know how many hours it takes to strip and clean up and then repaint. The paint needs to be a good match and time taken to apply correctly. Paint is available by clicking here.

High Quality Moped Transfers are also available for sale from Classic Moped Spares by clicking here

You do not need to buy from Classic Moped Spares, please please please be aware of what you are purchasing.  

An example of how easy it is to use an image for a sticker is:-
