Re: Hydraulic brakes
Well the brakes have been tested and work well. The handbrake and over run brake remains unchanged. I had to make one change. Mini handbrake cable has springs on the ends. I found out these are to keep the handbrake leaver off and the cable tight. Without this the drums get hot and cause the brakes ...

A frame question
Hi all, playing with the Portafold on the back of my Trike I found it’s a nightmare to reverse mainly due to the very short A frame. Has anyone ever found the need to lengthen there A frame. It would also lower the nose weight .

Re: Hydraulic brakes
Yes, that’s the plan. I’ve cut the cable and have drilled a 4mm hole through an m8 bolt which will act as a clevis on the original compensator.
Thanks. Probably wouldn’t have thought about it had you not have pointed it out.

Re: Hydraulic brakes
This is the no spill hydraulic coupling. Very easy to connect and disconnect. My Trike weighs 750kg. Nearly twice that of a Reliant robin. This would work very well with smaller cars as well

Re: Hydraulic brakes
Just seen this, nice job, just one note the handbrake cable really should turn 90deg at the pivot point of the trailing arm (Mini's used a pivoting guide on the trailing arm) otherwise the hand brake cables could become lose/tight with the rise and fall of the suspension. You could have the scenari...
