Lambretta Engine Rebuild Part 2

I had all intentions to use a 16 tooth front sprocket  
ScootRS chain tensioners were fitted 
The clutch spider was welded

With the gearbox in it was time to fit the clutch housing, chain, tensioners and front sprocket. The original plan was to fit a 16 tooth front sprocket but when I tried to fit the original 80 link chain that I thought must have stretched enough over It came apparent I was wrong, so on went the 15 tooth instead. The thing is that turned out to be the right decision in retrospect as I'm not the 11 stone lad I was age 17 and the engine is setup to be much higher revving so if I had got it to fit I now believe it would have made the scooter slower
