And hit them to try to spring the threads.   Are these cross head screws or hex bolts? Those old Japanese cross heads were a pain, but if you drilled them out the remainder usually came out with a pair of mole grips.

Hey .... now you are too good by half!!!  1914 TT it is  - at the back of the Castle Mona Hotel.  Gelder (FN MD and my Grandfather H.G Bell, Sales Manager are in the photo, but I'm having trouble picking them out!  

Not sure about the numbers, I'll have a look through the papers I have.

So how come you know so much about FNs or are you just good with Google!

All the best Dan

"FN" being a Canterbury issue registration mark, if that has any significance?

Probably not, all his Bikes had an FN reg and he lived in Clevedon Somerset!  An early personal plate!

Ok so where's this then?!

I tried to resize the pic, but now its done it on its own? how does that work?!

High folks a bit of nebie around here but am a bike nut! My Grandad - HG Bell was heavily involved with the 4 cylinder FNs esp between the wars and I am trying to find out as much history about him and the bikes as I can, anyone know anyone who knows?!

I have been in contact with the MCC (he was a honoury life member) and the ACU.

Cheers

Dan
