Guide to Fitting the Front Disc Brake Nose Pump on Lambretta

If you are looking to improve the effectiveness of your Lambretta’s braking system, installing a master cylinder under the nose for the external and/or Campagnolo front disc brake is an effective and relatively simple solution. This configuration offers a more direct and modulable response than traditional systems, improving the safety and performance of the Lambretta.

Materiali Necessari

Per un’installazione corretta e sicura, assicurati di avere a disposizione:

• Pompa freno sotto nasello: progettata per offrire un’installazione semplice e pulita del sistema frenante idraulico.

• Supporto per pompa: specifico per il modello di Lambretta (LI 1ª serie, LI 2ª/3ª serie, DL/GP).

• Capocorda e capoguaina: per il collegamento del cavo freno.

• Molla di ritorno: per garantire il ritorno completo della leva.

• Olio per freni: di tipo DOT4, compatibile con il sistema per Lambretta.

Assembly Procedure

1. Vehicle preparation: Place the Lambretta on a stable support, removing any components that obstruct access to the nose.

2. Installing the Mount: Attach the pump mount under the nosepiece, making sure it is well aligned and stable.

3. Mounting the pump: Connect the pump to the bracket, fixing it firmly.

4. Brake cable connection: Insert the cable lug into the hole in the pump lever and secure it with the cable end cap.

5. Installing the return spring: Position the spring so that it ensures the lever returns fully after each actuation.

6. Disc Brake Connection: Connect the brake cable to the disc brake mechanism, making sure it is tensioned correctly.

7. Bleeding the System: Use the appropriate bleeding method for your system (manual or with specific equipment) to eliminate air from the circuit.

8. Final check: Check that the lever is operated correctly and that the brake is effective.

Useful Tips

• Compatibility: Make sure all components are compatible with your specific Lambretta model.

• Maintenance: Check the oil level and brake cable condition periodically to ensure optimum performance.

• Safety: Always wear appropriate protective equipment during installation and maintenance.
