The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Hi Richard I've now fitted the H pieces successfully and agree with you that the new handbrake cables need to be shortened at the adjuster on both sides.
Over the years I've owned and restored a number of cars from a Morris 1000, 1250 Herald, two Mk1 Cortina GT's and an MGBGT but this Dolomite is ...
