Re: Cost of painting...
Horrendous prices. Don't want to get the job. Perhaps paintshops in Berkshire are assuming car enthusiasts are rich. May be worth asking around in local car clubs etc. My own experience with Clarissa, which was a mates rate job done by a semi-retired expert was under 2k. Previous commissions have al...

Re: Tension spring on parking brake rear caliper
The only way to reduce spring tension is to put a lighter spring in. If you know someone with a box of assorted springs, you might find something suitable that you can adapt. That could risk brake binding if not returning to off position. Perhaps the leverage on your handbrake lever is too much, can...

Great turn out of classic cars and bikes today but only 3 Trikings.

Rear jacking point.
Someone posted a question on here asking where is the best place to position a trolley jack to lift up the rear of a T4. I didn't say anything as I don't have a T4. The post was deleted, I understand the reason. My Thoughts on the subject: There is no real 'safe' spot to put a jack as all the unders...

The centre adjuster on the caliper may need screwing in a bit, till it nips the pads then slacken a bit.
Slacken cable before doing that.
Then adjust cable till hand brake lever works.
Good luck.

St David's Day
Apology to any Welsh Triking owners out there, I omitted to mention this event on the 2024 Triking Calendar.
The March picture is where Dick & Myra first set up home. Quite stunning for a young couple. Not in Wales ---- beautiful Somerset.

Re: Caster
Hi Andy The castor angle is leaning back. A setting of 5-6deg is about ideal, over that figure may make the car less stable at speed. Chassis being lower on one side may be spring tension setting on shockers, also check that they are both the same length when extended. :shock: Put a search in on her...
