Re: Brake light sensor location???
Hi Andy The brake light switch is often located on a 4 way union where the brake pipe from the front brake master cylinder splits to go to the front brakes. It's usually located near the right hand side of the steering rack on the chassis. Otherwise it might be actuated by the brake pedal itself, vi...

Re: Type 1 rebuild
Some more photos to show progress so far. The chassis is completely bare at this point and easily turned onto its side. Most of the access to the tunnel is through the side rather than underneath as on the Type 2 & 3. This shot from underneath shows the generally excellent condition, the outer panel...

Type 1 rebuild
You may have deduced from my recent Type 1 questions that I had possibly acquired a Type 1 and you'd be right! Several months ago I bought a Type 1 which was located on the Isle of Wight, which meant a bit of logistical planning was required to get it back to Norfolk. It's history is quite interesti...

Re: Type 1 Wiring Loom question
Thanks Alan, I found an enormous Lucas wiper motor and gearbox amongst the boxes of bits and the socket matches the plug. Just need to decide whether to keep it or go for the Golf wiper motor as per current Triking practice.

Type 1 Wiring Loom question
I can probably work this out with a multi meter eventually but just in case - does anyone recognise this plug and wiring from a Triking made Type 1 wiring loom. I've tried to match it up with the wiring diagram that Tony produced some years ago but it's not clear where all the wires go. I suspect it...

Re: What's a Type 1 gearchange like?
Thanks Steve I was thinking along similar lines - rose joints in the linkage and careful setup/adjustment. I'll look into the vertical link too. Hi Nick, I'm good thanks - how's the Type 4 coming along? I need headlights/indicators and rear lights, if you have any in reasonable condition I'd be inte...

What's a Type 1 gearchange like?
I'm rebuilding a Type 1 with a Le Man's engine and gearbox. It has the original gear change linkage in the tunnel which is or will be in good fettle. I could convert it to the external linkage like on the Type 2/3 with a bit of effort and now would be the time as it's in bare chassis form However, i...
