New products made by MB Developments

We will feature the new products that are mentioned in our regular editorials in Scootering magazine as well as new products that don't make it to scootering.

There are some products that are on here that we have been making for years but they are new to the internet so we think they qualify! A lot of our products go in and out of fashion - we are selling a lot of cable adjuster blocks at the moment for example.

The page will fill from the top down so the newest product will always be at the top.

	We picked this picture of Laurence Daltons' engine to show of the MB clutch and gear linkage kit. Laurences' engine was fitted with a six plate clutch but this made no difference to the precision linkages fitted to all engines built by MB Developments. You can see the adjuster block (available plain or polished), Stainless adjuster screws and nuts, Stainless gear pivot base, Zinc plated Spanish gear swivels, Stainless tie bars and gear arm stud conversion. Introduced since this picture was taken are the stainless steel cable trunnions. Note that the wire between the adjuster block and the clutch arm is not part of the kit, we just fit that to newly built engines to stop the clutch bushes coming loose in before the cables are fitted.

	MB Developments test all their products before selling them. This is our 2002 Retro custom expansion chamber designed for custom, cutdown and chopper scooter. This was tested on cast iron and TS1 cylinders using proven engines and rev counters. Both customers wanted the pipe straight away they were so pleased with the performance! Both customers had tried most other makes of pipes but found this one suited them best.	POA Should be on sale by late July 2002, we have just got to get them dyno tested.
	It's always difficult to take a photograph from any position to illustrate the true effect of the MBD gear and clutch adjuster block. It was designed to make access to all adjuster screws easier. The standard item only allows access to the clutch and front adjuster, the rear screw can only be adjusted with the clutch cable removed. The standard item uses a thin metal support for the rear brake cable to stop it rubbing on the rear tyre. This support usually breaks letting the brake cable rub on the rear tyre. The MB Developments item has a casting to locate the rear brake cable which solves this problem. We have also made the adjuster screws and nuts in Stainless steel.

	The MB Developments hydraulic inboard disc conversion. Think of a standard Lambretta disc brake set-up, even if it's reverse pull, then double the power of the braking action and thats what you get with a hydraulic brake. Please note this price is based on EXCHANGE, i.e. to do yours. We cannot get hold of backplates to be able to sell them already done. With this exchange, to save time for you, we have a couple on the shelf done to be able to send you a converted one quickly. This means you will not get back the one you sent UNLESS you tell us you want YOUR backplate done and returned to you. This can push the turn-around up to a month.

	MB Developments believe in manufacturing engines to last a long time that keep the performance they were made for. Cast cylinder can be tuned from stage 3 through to 6 and still use a large carb. We have found over the years that a 28 or 30 PHBH carb allows excellent all round performance, with good pulling power and increased Horsepower. Running these carbs with an open bellmouth has two problems:- They breathe in dust and grit with the air which in time will wear out a cylinder. Most piston ported engine have spit back at some throttle positions, which leaves the runner boards, panels and riders feet covered in oil and petrol and makes the scooter look dirty and smelly.
	We looked at the problem and came up with our remote air filter system which is a GP200 air hose bonded onto a ram air filter. This system replaces the air filter box and keeps the scooter clean, reliable and quieter! It is a must for all 28-30 PHBH carbs whether you have full bodywork or not.

	Detail is a major part of all the things we do at MB Developments. Our hydraulic conversion is complemented by our extra long clutch lever conversion. The extra leverage this conversion gives over a standard lever makes pulling the lever in very easy. Matched with one of our nylon lined clutch cables you can easily pull the lever in with two fingers, even on a 6 plate conversion, making life very easy at all times. To finish the conversion we use Yamaha TZR grips (longer than Lambretta ones), which suit the longer clutch lever. To finish off the conversion we offer the MB Developments polished alloy bar ends, made for GP handlebars but they can be modified to suit SX/LI handlebars. Note: Because we cannot find a source of new or good second hand clutch lever housings we only offer the lever conversion as an EXCHANGE i.e. you send us your housing to be done.

	This carb kit is very popular and rightly so. It works well, it fits full body lambrettas. It is easy to set up, it makes your motor more reliable, it keeps the noise down, it keeps the panels and floorboards clean and it gives more power on mild touring to road-race type tunes. The kit is complete and ready to fit with spare jets and instructions and is ideal for 150-200cc engines. It is our recommended carb kit for stage 4,5 or 6 tunes on either SR 175-190 kits, Indian factory kits or any tuned cast iron kits.
