1957 Francis Barnett Plover
« on: 06.02. 2023 21:14 »
Hi guys

I know this is BSA forum, but I’m a bit stuck so wondering if anyone can steer me on the right direction please.
I’ve just brought a 1957 Francis Barnett Plover, and have tried to join the correct forum to potentially source parts, but their link to both the forum and email won’t work for me.
Does anyone know a correct contact for the FB group? I’m trying to source tank badge at present. Cheers all

Might be worth trying The Francis Barnett owners group and The Official Francis Barnett Owners Group. Both on Facebook, but I have to say I didn't have much response when searching for parts for my vintage FB.

Unfortunately I don’t do Facebook, but thanks for the suggestion.
I have tried their links through google but to no avail…

The email address I have for the club is www.francis-barnett.co.uk  The spares officer is John Harding. Tomorrow I'll see if I can find an address for him.

If you go onto the VMCC forum (which you can as a guest) you'll see john Harding is one of the most prolific posters on there, and you should be able to contact him either via the forum or his sig line.

I've been a VMCC member for 40yrs but I didn't know there was a forum. 🤐

Yeah there is, but it's not great.
They've had some trials and tribulations there over the last couple of years, which is understandable given that it's a club full of old boys' endless moaning... ;)
