The triangle is a blank steel, or chromed, “triangle with tow bar”. The triangle is attached to the eyes of the chassis of the 2CV/Burton and then connected to the tow bar with a trailer clutch. This is ideal if you want to take the Burton as an extra car; for example, on holiday (behind the camper/car) or if you need to tow the car.
While using the triangle, the car is on 4 wheels and steers automatically in bends. Make sure you unlock the steering lock, that the gearshift box is out of gear and the handbrake is off. The Burton should be equipped with a light bar at the rear side. If you want to use the triangle often, you can also install a multiple socket on the dashboard instead of a light bar. Now you will use the back lights, license plate lights and indicators of the Burton itself. If you want to “triangle” you can simply click the spiral cable in the multiple socket on the dashboard on one side and in the socket of the pulling car on the other side.
Mounting the triangle goes as follows:
Mount the socket on the dashboard; a suitable place is directly to the left, next to the transit of the cable tree. Normally, this is where the pressure controller is placed, but it can be moved a bit. Drill the 3 holes for the bolts and a hole for the passage of the cables to the inside. Fasten the socket.
The Burton cable tree contains the connection of a triangle. The cables are coded; connect them as follows:
black 58L (7) – dipped lights – connection >581
yellow L (1) – indicator left – connection >490
green R (4) – indicator right – connection >491
red 51 (6) – brake lights – connection >54
white 30 (3) – mass connection – connection >311
NB: the vehicle you want to “triangle” should be MOT tested and insured. |
