The Triumph Dolomite Club - EzBoard Archive

Lo, just a quick q as to where is the best place to get the rubber carb mounts for the 1850's SU's. Robbers seem to be charging a rather extravagent 30 quid each, which would total 60 <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rollin --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/roll.gif ALT=":rollin"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> <br>

Thanks!

My local motor factor quoted me about £47 for a pair. I have not ordered mine yet but I can order 2 lots if you don't find then cheaper elsewhere or you could try them yourself. <!--EZCODE LINK START--><a href="http://www.millautosupplies.co.uk/" target="top">www.millautosupplies.co.uk/</a><!--EZCODE LINK END--> <br>
Mine have been siliconed up for ages now which was supposed to be a quick fix if you are a bit skint!!<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :lol --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... /laugh.gif ALT=":lol"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

Alright, that sounds more reasonable.<br>
Many thanks, I'll post back on how good they are and where I got them from asap.

<p></p><i></i>

could`nt a machine shop make up a permanent pair from aluminium.<br>
would then only require gasket paper for them to be airtight, and no more perishing rubbers!

<p></p><i></i>

Yes, I don't really see why the rubber is required. Presumably it's to keep the carbs a) vibration isolated and b) heat isolated from the engine, or something similar. <br>
<br>
Don't quiller offer an aluminium intake for the sprint which replaces the rubber ones?

I got the rubber mounts for my Sprint from Quillers. I expect they do 1850s as well. They always advertise offering discount to TDC members, so dont accept the advertised price!

<p></p><i></i>

I paid £25 each for some 1850 mounts last year from RB as I thought mine were rather wobbly. The new ones are even more wobbly<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :eek --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... ns/eek.gif ALT=":eek"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END--> , so if you would like my old ones, which are still serviceable, drop me an email before they go on eB... <br>

Mill Autos can't get them anymore. Wish I had bought some when I first rang! I rang Quiller today and they cost the same a rimmers and wouldn't give me a discount for being a club member. I went to Robsport in the end and they still cost the same!

Guys,<br>
I beleive that the club has some 1850 carb mounts, bought as part of a job lot of spares, ring the advertising officer, Bruce Jones for information<br>
<br>

Try the TDC's advertising officer, Bruce Jones. The club bought a batch of spares last year, and I think they have a few of these rubbers in there<!--EZCODE EMOTICON START :rolleyes --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/eyes.gif ALT=":rolleyes"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->

<p></p><i></i>

Bruce thinks we have, will have a sort out and detail in next club mag <!--EZCODE EMOTICON START ;) --><img src=http://www.ezboard.com/intl/aenglish/im ... s/wink.gif ALT=";)"><!--EZCODE EMOTICON END-->
