Hi Dug,
I think i am Jason’s brother, sorry it has taken me so long to get to you, I don’t think he ever mentioned this to me, i just stumbled upon this post whilst searching for a gear selector for mine.
How far have you got through your list? Would be good to get in touch and discuss. I still haven’t met anyone else with one of these.
cheers
Andy

Hi
My brother has a 1952 Rene Gillett 125 Mk6
If you would like to get in touch he would appreciate it, as he’s without any other Rene Gillett support.
Cheers
Jason
