Re: Forum Pic

Well done Jan ! I wasn't certain.......!

Unfortunately, I get a bit rusty in my old-age/retirement zone and am no expert on non-British machinery !

PS - can you email me off Forum on WD/RE markings ? Thanks Jan !

Re: Forum Pic

That's a cracking shot. I had no idea that there was a Fitted For Wireless body. Is it rated at 8 or 15cwt ? It's a big old bus, for sure.

Re: Forum Pic

You are all wrong there, it's a Belgium Gillet!!

Here a shot of the other side;



Have many pictures of these, was a 720cc twostroke twin!

If anyone needs a cylinder for one?.....



The baddies used most of them;

Re: Forum Pic

I find the trio fitted with this chair (FN, Sarolea, Gillet) quite difficult to identify if the engine and front hub aren't visible but had generally regarded the Bosch Horn below the headlamp as an FN characteristic....or did Gillet use alternative positions ?

The forum pic also seems to have a winged filler cap. In the photos that I've seen, Gillet seem to have used a plain variety ?

I've copied the original to here as it will probably disappear shortly.

Re: Forum Pic

Yes, it is difficult to identify, Have pictures of the Gillet with both the horn under the lamp and on the l/h side.

Feel the wingnuts on the headlamp might be conclusive, will look again!

Re: Forum Pic

This one can only be identified correctly by a Belgian forum member... It is an FN!
