Hello Colin,
Great to have a bike with the same name as your own! Lucky friend you have.
;-)
I can help your friend already with the kickstarter-lever.
Give me his postal address and I will send him the part.
Once arrived, he can pay whatever he likes and/or what he thinks it is worth
to him.
Considering the other parts, I am in the process of cleaning out my garage
to make room for my BFG and will keep only 1 Belgica 200cc/1955 and I just
sold off a whole lot of parts to my friend Joris VL.
And soon there will be listed the last 250cc on eBay, together with my last
spare parts. Keep an eye on www.shop.reKup.net .
As we all keep close contact through the mailing list, I suggest your friend
takes pictures of the missing parts (mm, bit difficult! ;-) or at least
some photos of the surrounding parts, so we can have an idea of which parts
he needs. As almost all bikes are different built with parts of the shelf,
available at that moment. So it is a question of determining the right parts
he needs.
The mailing list can be found through my website www.belgica.reKup.net .
Virtuele groet,

Beste collègues, amis en leden van de famille Gillet-Herstal,
Nous voilà dejà begin 2008.
L'année passé was voor ons une année de veranderingen, productives, of niet.
In het begin was tout le monde inquiet maar eindelijk is alles presque goed passé grâce à onze esprit de samenwerking,enfin bijna.
Iedereen is d'accord pour dire que nous werken heel goed zonder hésitation en met weinig slecht humeur.
Dat is de resultat van onze collaboration et goede entente dans le combat.
Je voudrais vous dire dat ik veel chance heb d'avoir des kamaraden comme jullie.
Altijd klaar pour aider, toujours prêt om initiatieve te prendre, altijd klaar pour aider un afwezig.
Bedankt voor tout en ik hoop que cela continuera volgende année .
Meilleurs wensen voor de nouvelle jaar 2008.
PS : ik wil ook remercier Bill Gates pour ce prachtige taalcorrecteur programme, zonder celui-ci zou ik deze brief met veel fautes moesten écrire!! ;-)
(ndlr) : Afin d'éviter tous problèmes pouvant se présenter avec notre nouveau gouvernement, nous avons opté pour cette nouvelle forme de langage qui devrait être à la portée de chaque bon belge qui se respecte.
As you may have noticed, I've sold most of my Belgica's and Légia's. The Black one whith whom it all started, will stay in my garage. Next to the BFG, for which I had to create some space. ( www.blackattack.reKup.net/follies/bfg ) So I have some Gillet-Herstal spare-parts to sell or trade. Engine, exhausts, lamps, carbu's, etc.
Next wednesday I will be in my garage-box; Bautersemstraat 51 - 2550 Kontich from 15 till 18h. ( a narrow street nextdoor to Nr 51 in fact)
Thierry is already passing by, as is Marcel. If anyone else interested and in the neighbourhood, don't hesitate to drop buy. If not for buying or selling, just to say hello it's OK too! Let's have a mini-meeting. ;-)

Thanks for the quick response.
But in my gear there is no female thread. The inside is flat.
So I don't think this tool would work in this case.
But unless there should be a way to demount it. Somebody must have
done that in the past on an other Gillet or bike with a Lucas
generator.
The mounting is not a problem. Put the piece back in the keyway,
then put the gear on the axle and by fastening the nut the gear is
back in the original position.
Kind Regards,
Manuel Meeuws

Goeiedag allemaal,
Bonjour à tous,
Vanwege nijpend geldtekort en plaatsgebrek, mag de Gillet-Herstal Légia
175cc / 1953 weg voor 2.000 euro.
Da's m'n allerlaagste prijs.
A cause besoin d'argent et place, je vends mon Légia tout de suite à celui
qui arrive ici avec 2.000 euros.
Even ter herinnering:
Compleet origineel, in orde en rijklaar met slechts 500 kms gereden.
Inclusief recente Belgische registratie. Taxatierapport van 3.300 euro.
De eerste die hier staat met cash geld, mag hem zo meenemen.
Virtuele groet,

S'il y a quelque chose sur la liste que vous ne comprenez pas, n'hésite pas
de répondre avec: "traduction svp".

Problème connu.
Probablement les 2 ou 3 premières dents qui sont cassées.
Avec 1 ou 2 dents, ca va encore pour le mettre en marche. A partir de 3...
J'ai envoyé ce mail aussi au 'group Gillet' chez Yahoo.

Hello all, i wantet One "Tambour de frein /Bremstrommel"
Gillet-Herstal Typ: Estafette from 1951. Nomenclature - Nummero 500602
- Plache Nr. 18.
Wenn jemand Deutsch spricht und mir helfen mag währe ich sehr Dankbar.
I come back from holidays and i saw this terrible information about
Patrick in my mailbox. I also saw that Yves wrote a memoriam on the
Marnix web site and the newspaper "La vie de la moto" had wrote an
article on Patrick.
I'm very sad cause Patrick was the man who sold me parts of Belgica
for my project to rebuild one. We were sometimes in conversation about
some other parts of gillet.
He was a very nice guy and always ready to give a help.
I hope that he ride around the clouds and see us in the continuation
of a part of his life passion.

merci d'avance.

rebonjour,
La bequille centrale est souvent cassé.
Mieux c'est de vous chercher une pied lateral, de Gillet ou meme en pirate.
Je sais que Thierry a faire refabriquer une, peut-etre il sait en commander
une autre (mail en 'cc')
Pompe a pneu d'origine est à trouver sur chaque bourse.
FN les avait avec ca marque dessus, mais je ne pense pas qu'il y avait des
pompes Gillet spécifique.
Pour les serrures j'ai trouver une solution pratique chez Car Plus, mais
c'est pas d'origine. Ca depend que vous voulez.
