In Roger Williams' book"How to Improve Triumph TR5, TR250 and 6", on
pages 46-47, he discusses the handbrakes for the TR4A to the TR6. He shows
plans and measurements for a "completely reversible modification" consisting
of a pair of fabricated extension arms for the rear back plates. He says
these are "increasing the mechanical advantage of your handbrake by over
40%".
These look interesting. I wonder if anyone on list has tried them.
NFI, etc, etc.
