« on: July 07, 2014, 10:02:33 PM »
Hi Everyone, I've been after a forgonette for some time and have now got one!! (pics to follow)
I desp need a manual or schematic for the electrics as The relays on my car are all rusty and I need to rewire it.
Any help or pointers greatly appreciated.

Hello and Welcome

I have a 1968 lawil Willam Forgonette as well and a two seater saloon similar to Barrys  as well
I don't have a workshop manual but if I can be of any help cross referencing things to mine I would be glad to do so

Is it this one you have just bought??



I was offered first refusal before it weant on E-bay but he wouldn't drop the price a penny from £1500, then txt me to say he accepted a fair bit less to end it early  ???

Very odd way to do business :-\


But hope you enjoy it, are you going to make it road legal, or just for fun in private grounds??

Looks like you should be getting  rid of that old Lambretta taking up space.  I have a good home for it :D
When were your fire extinguishers last checked Jamfan?

You know I have never been good with rectifiers but I do detect undercurrents  ;)

It was on the Saturday before Ebay he blankly refused to budge on £1500  :-\
Who are you gonna use for a dating letter??
LCGB won't do them and the new system is a nitemare  :o
Have you sourced the brakes yet  ;)

And WHY is your workshop like a scooter graveyard  :'(
I see 2 lammies and 1 Vespa, looks '70's Super/sprint stylie but the pics not too clear.

Im happy it will be done up in a fetching shade of red with a black cat nailed to the roof  ;D

Oh and one last question, does he actually look like Quentin Tarantino ??

Ha Shaun, you must have bought the last Lawil off him!! (Tarantino). They're both rally 180s. Li 63 special, 1969 Eibar special (on the floor).
You'll love the van when done ..... watch this space. (what are the Lawil shocks from?) I'm stripping the chassis tomorrow morning and getting the thing powder coated. Got the steel for the front panel and I am going to stick it through the rollers. The front bumper is too rusty to re-crome, so I'll have to paint it the same body colour.

Yes mate, I bought this one:



I didn't have to change the shocks as mine were good,
I would look at the old Fiat 500 first as a lot is interchangeable.

Whats the plan with the scooters?
I have one or two myself.

Will the Willam be ready the IOW then  ;)

Did mr Tarantino tell you he has a Lambro coming in soon?
I had one on the road in daily use for 7 years, very much fun to ride  8)

The rears are not the same as fiat 500? what are they from? Does anyone know what this is?(I think its a rectifier?) The electrics are rusty as I think the van was stored with the bonnet open. If anyone has an electric scematic please let me know,Is the starter also the Dynamo?
thankyou ;)

I am sure (from memory0 the starter is just a starter, the box in the pic looks like a regulator.
On a Vespa 5 pin reg the B+ is the battery charging pin.
If it is like my old one, it will be 12v electronic Ducati with a red CDI under the front cover.
