I’m having a bit of clear out

I’ve 2 Sprint blocks for refurb, cylinder head for spares.

Lots of other goodies : trim, glass, fuel tank etc etc

Call me on 07887655369 as not on forum often .

Nothing expensive - just glad to go to good home and make some space.

I’m in need of a good overdrive unit for my Sprint gearbox.

Preferably good working order but if needs some TLC like a service kit then that’s ok.

Don’t want a clapped out one as got that already

Best call on 07887655369 as not on forum regularly.

Thanks Rob

Thanks for that - seems spacer is order of the day

Thanks - that answers the question.

Seen some on eBay - mainly for Mini but are these the same?

Ridiculous they don’t supply spacer

It measures 60mm from end of body to tip of lever (max length)

Part number is QFP33

Anyone had trouble fitting a QH fuel pump on a Sprint?

Seems to be a tricky blighter - played around for 10 mins but left it as getting annoyed.

Is there supposed to be a spacer at all ?

Let me know

They look good. My mind is made up.

I’ll pop to our local screwfix store tomorrow.

I’ve got the old fuel line as a template and have a pipe bender so I’ll have a go

Assume copper pipe ok with petrol ?

Certainly easy to work/shape and fit.

Easy on the wallet too

I need to replace fuel lines front to back on my Sprint.

Have an old fuel line that’s rotten here and there so thinking of replacing with stainless steel braided rubber hose - anyone done this and recommend supplier?

Know it’s not original etc but genuine replacement not available anyway (I don’t ...

Wondered if this is around with anyone.

Sold it about 2009 I guess - it’s on SORN and has been for yonks with no MOT for years neither.

Does anyone know the whereabouts?

Not particularly interested in buying it back (who knows) but hope it’s safe somewhere.

It’s in White (code 19), black ...

Thanks - seem to remember they only put Dolomite.

My 1974 Sprint does not have Sprint against “Dolomite” on the V5

The chassis number commences with VA and is a 1998 engine size.

Guess this is how they were shown then as a later V5 does state “Sprint” on log book

Just an update on my Magenta sprint resto.

Time is my enemy unfortunately but we’re getting there.

Engine about ready for install and interior already to go back in with door cards etc.

Wiring loom in and ready to connect up.

Going to brush paint interior tub as had some Magenta mixed to brush ...

I bumped into an old Dolomite owner I knew many years ago at a classic car meet in Hull last night.

We were discussing our old Sprints we had back in early 2000’s.

I sold mine - MCK329T a white one for the £3k (with an LSD) - I know

Just wondered if anyone has it on here ?

It is “SORNed” on ...

I have the answer to this now.

The second hand bootlid was pushed in the centre, although not noticeable at all. Must have had accident damage at some point.

I took it off and bent/levered the lip back in to shape - I chipped some paint inside lid but it’ll touch up. I tried to do as evenly as ...
