Repair floor plate and leg shield PREMIUM - SS50 / SS90 conversion kit for Vespa Smallframe
Our conversion kit for the SS50 / SS90 replica has long enjoyed great popularity. The sticking point has often been the front: A matching leg shield in the slim SS stylewas not available as a cleanly coordinated solution, so that many conversions were only possible with time-consuming manual work on the leg shield.
With this set, we offer a complete, matching leg shield including floor plate in the typical, slim style of the SS models. The contour is based on the original and makes the SS conversion easier to plan: the leg shield and step area fit together visually and form a harmonious basis for the body, filler, paint and finish.
Leg shield and floor plate as a set
Slim SS50 / SS90 look
Vespa Smallframe from 1968 onwards
Dimensions L 1290 mm, W 380 mm
Oiled metal
Area of application and suitable models
The set is intended for conversions and bodywork repairs on classic Vespa Smallframe frames and is aimed at mechanics who want to build an SS50 / SS90 replica without having to "cut out" and remodel the leg shield first.
Typical base vehicles are:
- Vespa 50-90 (Smallframe) from 1968 onwards
- Vespa 125 Primavera (PV125)
- Vespa 125 Primavera ET3
Note: For bodywork work, the actual condition of the frame (accident, rust, previous repairs) always determines how much preparatory work is required for clean gaps and lines.
Construction and details
Leg shield and base plate are designed as a coordinated unit. As a result, the appearance of the tread plate, tunnel and front fits together harmoniously - precisely the point that has often cost the most time in SS conversions to date.
The surface is oiled and therefore protected for transport and interim storage. The usual preparation is recommended for assembly: degrease, adjust, weld and then apply corrosion protection and paint as required.
Assembly and adjustment
This is a repair panel for welding in. Proper alignment, fixing and welding technique are crucial for a good result. Depending on the frame, adjustments to transitions and edges may be necessary to ensure that the lines of the SS style are cleanly achieved.
Note: Plan SS conversion realistically
Advantage of the set: Leg shield and floor panel are visually matched and save the previously typical "freehand" conversions on the leg shield.
Nevertheless important: Bodywork remains a craft. For a clean result, the frame geometry, edge contours and gap dimensions should be checked several times before final welding.
FAQ
For Vespa Smallframe as a basis for SS50 / SS90 conversions: V50-90 (from model year 1968) as well as PV125 and Primavera ET3. The exact fit may vary depending on the frame condition and preparatory work.
The leg shield is designed in the slim SS style and is matched to the base plate as a set. This eliminates the often time-consuming reshaping and adaptation of the standard leg shield to achieve the typical SS front look.
No. It is a repair and conversion plate for welding in. Alignment, fixing and adjustment work are part of the conversion and depend on the condition of the frame and any repairs that have already been carried out.
The oiled surface serves as corrosion protection for storage and transportation. Before welding and painting work, the sheet metal should be thoroughly degreased as usual and prepared for the desired structure.
