Well my MOT man knows his stuff..and if you pull the lever both back wheels stop ? The handbrake doesn't affect the balance of the rear brakes if he is testing them on the rollers ?  if I told you what my Mot man said about some of the jobsworths out there ?  |

 Surely when each side is tested individually, with a transmission brake, the other wheel wiil rotate in the opposite direction as the brakes on the wheels aren't doing anything. Or am I missing something here ?

If he pulls the handbrake on and it stops the propshaft from turning the back wheels stop ? If he tests the back wheels/brakes they ( hopefully ?) stop too ? ..when I park the trike..I pull the handbrake up and trike doesn't move ?  |

Suggest that you keep going to the same MOT guy.   |

So today I popped down to Britbits to try and buy a new lens for my headlight ( it's an odd size ?,6 3/4in?) which meant buying new bulb holder/side light holder? After coming out the shop £37 lighter I thought to myself "you muppet you needed that money for the brake calipers/fittings ?"...
Oh well I will need the headlight for the MOT too ?
I sold an old Girder front end on eBay..but the guy didn't want the front wheel/mudguard ..so placing said mudguard over the front wheel, HMM..it looks ok..il use that..so quick clean/autosol..mock up..started making some brackets..I'm going to leave it as is,but may bin the skull...I also made a cover for the electric box..but I'm not happy with it so MK 2 on it's way..managed to fit the radius rod brackets and painted them..fitted the front headlight and indicators..spent a few hours (Tuesday ) attempting to fit back brake lights on mudguard ..didn't like that so MK2 on those soon ?

You've certainly been busy mate.
I like the triangular electrics box.
Never been a fan of skulls myself -very cliché.
