Screws used by Laverda

[Thomas aus LAU]

Most Laverdisti know this - Laverdas multiply over the years once you have one.

If these are partially dismantled, the Laverda screws also multiply in the workshop.

I sorted out the well-preserved usable screws with a beautiful patina from my "collection" and gave the rest of unsightly or rusty screws and metal parts (bolts, springs, ...) to the galvanizer.
He de-rusted and stripped the screws from the screws.

Today I picked up the 29 kg galvanized parts again. The 150 EUR were worth it, it looks very good

Over the years, Laverda has sourced the screws from various manufacturers that marked their screws on the head. Here is an overview.
Does anyone roughly know when the various screws were mainly used?

My rough assessment:
"B * T" :      "            1969-1972
"OMEL" with a rim:    until 1974
"OMEL" borderless    until 1974
"LAVERDA"  briefly in 1972
"S"                            about 1972
"VEO" (reverse)        about 1972 bis 1974
"SBE"                        about 1972
"3F"                          1974 and later

Thanks for informations.

Since I am reassembling my bikes, I need all the screws and can therefore unfortunately not hand in any.

Wow nice job!

I love the screws with the "Laverda" letters.

Did you also galvanized the dynamo covers? or chrome them?

Where did you galvanize all that? In Mallorca where I live, there is a guy who makes acceptable chrome, but I can't galvanize.

Yes, the three dynamo-cases where nickel-plated -> that was wrong and not the plan  :-(

The company HERBST https://www.herbst-galvano.de/?page_id=735 offers although chemical bathes not only electrolytic plating.
So you have the plating everywhere, even inside tubes. I use this method althoug for nickel plating frames since many years.
