What a shame, looks like it was t-boned hard.

Hope it helps, but it's still lurking in the Google cache for now https://webcache.googleusercontent.com/search?q=cache:https%3A%2F%2Fwww.copart.co.uk%2Flot%2F59259604%2F1976-triumph-dolomite-s-wisbech .

That won't last long, so added a save of the ...

Today I learnt two things, that Fitchett's are on eBay (duly purchased) and that there was a different bypass tube without the separate O rings! On looking my old tube was clearly the moulded type as well.

Thanks for the suggestions and the offer Alun.

Good shout! I always forget about them! That's the thing with not having a website nowadays, I forget to try them.

Rimmers are out of stock with a floating availability date, so thought I'd ask here (and on FB) if anyone has a NOS one lying around that they would part with?

Not useful to you, but I fixed my problem by moving to Shetland, as it only happened in warm weather with a hot car. Since this post I've also changed all the axle bushes and the centre prop, but not been "Sooth" with the car since.

That's not the only thing that gives up when using hard Super Pro bushes, so does your suspension due to metal fatigue. I've never had a problem ordering off the Chris Witor website myself and can only echo Justin's words.

Going to say the same as Steve. Take a look at the H shaped shim (shoe?) far bottom right.

Good effort by the most Northerly Post Office in the UK then for delivering mine two weeks ago!

Underrated title.

That I have:

Comm Number X826
Engine X1278E

If you're asking about works rally cars did you forget CKV 2K? Mind you, that might have an X not VA commision number...

I realised after I posted I was probably stating the obvious by saying it was a WASO. My Mini Clubman had one just like that, but hey, that was 34 years ago, "just like that" could mean anything!

No picture of the top but it looks like a BMC WASO brand Pentagon petrol cap to me.

Edit: Thinking about it, they were on Volvo's as well... You're going to have a job identifying the car range it fitted by picture, they all look the same!
