I have the same problem with my tri gear but just accept it as there is
no apparent lack of braking ability. Also I don't feel the brakes are
binding so how big a problem is it?

Yes I have and so have a number of others.  I have notes on what others
have reported but no clear solution.  Ivor Phillips (XS486) has
converted his to use automatic transmission fluid.  Karl Heidl has
changed the rubbers for new but I believe with only limited success.

I will be happy to be involved in any experimental work to try and solve
the problem for good.  I am sure Andy Draper will also advise if we have
questions.

Has anybody experienced the springs in the cylinder of the finger brakes
not being powerful enough to return the plunger assembly to its usual
resting position after operation?

If so, what is the cure?
