Re: Tension spring on parking brake rear caliper
If you mean the spring on the caliper itself? these are as supplied by the caliper manufacturer, so a dedicated design tension for that particular caliper to suit the piston size, seal drag and specific safety considerations, its probably not a good idea to reduce the tension as the caliper may not ...

(+VAT) They assure me repeate...

Re: Type 1 Wiring Loom question
Dave, That looks exactly like the plug we used to fit on T1 looms when they had a Lucas 2 speed wiper motor. It was usual on the end of a longish cable as the bonnet needed to be lifted enough to disconnect the wiper before completely removing the bonnet. We have got one here if you want to call in ...

Re: Triking types
Yes indeed just as Tony says that's the abridged version, Except for those looking at further engine options I probably should point out that ANY Guzzi Big Block engine can be fitted to ANY std Triking model with the appropriate transmission. So for example its possible to fit a late CARC engine to ...

Re: Reverse Gearbox Type 1
Caravan mover can indeed (and has) been fitted, The mechanism to engage it tends to be heavy and involved.
