Wishbone bushes

Whilst cleaning my front suspension I noticed that the front wishbone bushes are torn and hence the castor angle is not correct and suspension is not operating as it should. This comes as quite a surprise since I have only clocked about 8000kms. The bushes are the blue ones as supplied by Alan and I...

Reverse gearbox breeder nipple

Good morning, I am presently replacing my oils and wish to ask whether the Nova Reverse gearbox needs to have a catch tank. In my installation I had fitted a pipe from the gearbox nipple going to the rear bulkhead. I noticed a small quantity of oil. Is this correct or should I leave the nipple free ...

Re: Tension spring on parking brake rear caliper

Thank you very much for your reply the contents of which have been noted. I am glad that the external parking brake I installed has worked with no problem with the existing spring. So I do not need any modifications

Tension spring on parking brake rear caliper

Hope everyone is looking forward to the Triking season. I am presently working on a modification to my parking brake and would like to ask whether it is possible to reduce the tension of the parking brake spring and / or suggest an alternative. Thank you in advance

Re: Black road dust

I have noted the above contributions but frankly I do not know what I can do since brake unit on my car is new unless I can adjust handbrake cable. It is worth mentioning that I can move the car easily when engine is off and pushing it in and out of garage

Black road dust

I have fitted a mudguard over the rear wheel but slightly short at the rear. One thing that really bugs me is that the rear on the inside is completely covered in black dust and as soon as you touch anything your hands become black. This used to penetrate even behind the seats but now I tried to blo...

Modified clutch pedal

I wish to take this opportunity to thank Wetendguzzi for his contribution and the details how to modify the clutch pedal. This has made driving my Triking much easier and I now have better control especially when releasing clutch on first gear. Such a simple modification but yet so effective. Thanks...

Re: Vehicle stalling

I have today replaced my Cam position sensor and the trike ran fine. I found that the faulty part seemed slightly swolen. Mick Stephens has made this remark in a previous post. I have today only done about 30kms as trial, but before the trike was stalling even after 500metres. May I thank everyone f...
