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.
Cheers Dave

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...

Re: TRIKING MEET - WOODWALTON 2023
Great to meet up with Triking friends old and new and spot innovations that can be copied! There's also such a wealth of knowledge amongst fellow owners, I for one learnt some useful things which will help with my Type 1 rebuild.
Thanks for organising it Tony

Re: Reverse Gearbox Type 1
A caravan mover at first glance would seem a possible solution. It is a compact 12v unit with a roller that will grip the tire and also give variable speed control, but I think it would have several drawbacks. It will need a mechanism to actuate it on and off the tire and it could not be easily moun...
