Re: 33rd German Threewheeler Meeting, 04-07. Sept. 2026

Will it be possible to park a towcar and trailer onsite or nearby do you know?

Thanks Dave

Re: 33rd German Threewheeler Meeting, 04-07. Sept. 2026

The hotel booking link isn't working properly as it shows no room availability for those dates (although the actual hotel website does). I've contacted the hotel directly to book a room but hopefully it's just a glitch...

Re: New Triking owner, advise needed please.

Congratulations on joining the club! In order to gain access to the tunnel for the fuel hose (and the gearbox linkage) your best bet is to safely raise the whole Triking up as much as possible, otherwise you'll be on your knees, bending right over it. There is limited access to the tunnel from under...

Re: Body fitting

If it was mine, I would grind off the inside of the body so that it follows the curve of the lower chassis rail. Whilst the fibreglass can be flexed and possibly have the flange forced round, any prolonged force can cause gel coat cracks to appear, spoiling the paint finish. You will still be able t...

Re: Horn at idle

If you're using the steering column horn push you definitely want it through a relay as the wiring is really thin and won't pass a lot of current. On my Trikings, I installed an 80 amp relay operated by the ignition switch. The switched feed was wired to the starter motor connection which is directl...

Re: Broken stud - drill out and retap or stud extractor?

Thanks for all the helpful suggestions and hard won advice/experience! For several reasons I didn't want to take the head off and take it to a machine shop, so I persevered with careful drilling (though don't buy the Sealey left hand drill set as it's rubbish) and was initially able to run a 7mm tap...

Broken stud - drill out and retap or stud extractor?

One of the exhaust studs sheared as I was removing the exhaust headers from my Norge donor bike engine. The nut had rusted solid onto the stud and it sheared the stud about 10mm proud of the head. I tried welding a nut onto the end of the stud but it just took a bit more off the end of the stud when...
