Looks very good and neat! cheap too!

Problem solved now! Because we have 2 Trikings available, both with Ford 5 speed gearbox, we assumed reverse was in the same position. By accident we found out that on one it is to the right and back, on the other it is very close to the first gear (little bit further to the left) and hard to find a...

Gd morning all,

Cannot get the box into reverse suddenly, it is blocked somehow.
Anyone else experienced this before?

Thanks for your info Archie, will give it a good check.

Found the problem: I had to adjust the rod of the front main cilinder, make it longer so the front brake starts to brake before the rear one does.

Less than one miles, only around the parking block. I'll give it a try, thanks!

It is the other way around, right cil is for the front brakes.
I assume 3/4 is the size, should that be ok?

Gd morning Tony,

Brakes must have worked in tis setting with the original calipers. Master caliper says Girling 3/4 and chassisnumber is R13919422.

Type 2, year and enginenumber follow later. It has the simple type of balancebar, just a pin with a longer and shorter end.
If I would disconnect the rear cilinder, it should be ok or better?

Hi, I mounted 2 new Girling/Triumph front brake calipers with Ferodo pads. Braking power is very poor.
I have seen more owners have mounted them, so any advise on this matter would be most welcome.
