just had this arrive in the post...

red anodised trigger handbrake

Got it from Trigger Handbrakes after I rang them to find out if they could do their standard steel one in an anodised colour. To my surprise, Richard at Trigger said that he actually had some lightweight aluminium ones that he had prototyped and anodised so he sent across some photos. I really liked the red one so ordered it.

He's also got the following:

lightweight steel

stainless trigger handbrake

gold anodised aluminium

gold anodised trigger handbrak
gold anodised trigger handbrak


gold trigger handbrake2
gold trigger handbrake2




The only thing to point out is that the colour anodised ones seems to have a ghosting effect just where the welds are. Richard said that he can't find any way to prevent this and to point it out to anyone who might be interested. I've got it on mine but as its at the bottom of the brake you can't really see it and it isn't that obvious.

If anyone wants one or has queries, give Trigger Handbrakes a call: 01326 574 464

Looking forward to fitting it (and yes it is bling but I don't care )

as i was buying a prototype, i got it for same price as their normal one (£92 delivered) but not sure what they'll charge if sufficient interest is there (though Richard said he will look to try and sell at the same price).

Saw a rotary engined Tiger at santa pod - look in my archive for a couple of pics - there's also a link to a previous discussion there, too.

(sorry for the thread diversion, Mads!)
