Then came the war and for six long years there was no motorised sport, but from mid-1945 peace-time pursuits, including racing, began to return.
Francis Beart was soon to find himself even busier, tuning for many of the greats of the road racing game, including Johnny Lockett, Ken Bills, Cromie McCandless, Manliff Barrington, Denis Parkinson, Dan Crossly, Peter Romaine and many, many more.
Beart tuned a pair of Nortons to be raced by Ernie Washer in the Manx Grand Prix in 1957.
The combination of Beart's tuning ability and Washer's riding skills resulted in a 2nd in the 500cc Senior race, with a first and a new lap record in 1958.
Other riders who benefitted from Beart's tuning included Mike Hailwood, Joe Dunphy, Terry Shepherd and Bob Anderson.
Just some of the modifications included drilled and lightened components, such as engine mounting plates, rear sprockets and brake torque arms.
Besides Findlay's TT success, the same machine with Clive Brown aboard won the 1970, Junior Manx Grand Prix.
In 1953 they purchased Brook Lodge, a three storey property which had been a guest house, in Albury, Surrey, but this had dry rot and was demolished.
