The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Couldn't sleep last nights started scrolling thru U-Tube for something to watch, and found this vid of said triumph entering the show,

On my travels today Hellingly Festival of Transport there was what looked like a Sprint, but had no sprint badges, and some paperwork to say it was one of a few 1972 cars and was about one of 150 cars called a Triumph 135? was it realtor a spoof?

Deffo not flat seat, the seat within the nut hole is 45deg taper, whereas most taper seats are 60degs, after talking to Compomotive today the thought the wheels would have had a 45 degree taper insert with a internal 60 degree taper, now you have confirmed they have no inserts in the sprint wheels, ...

Ooooh Wheel options, scouring the internet whilst laid up from a prolapsed disc, I found what looked like a very dodgy advert on Facebook Selling for a friend ETC, Far too cheap, Cash only, and Far to Far away (but not in another Galaxy), so of course I bought them, knowing exactly what they were, A...

Silly Question time....... Do sprint wheels have steel nut inserts???

Whilst on the topic of tanks, are Toledo tanks the same as Dolomite? I may just have a leak.....

Thanks both for the feedback... I am tempted as Steve suggested to leave it out all together.. I also have taken the bung out on both my cars to aide draining :D Cheers Nigel I left mine out too. However, I have been pondering this. If you want an extra surrort or whatever, how about putting a bit ...

I had my Toledo 16v tested last year, I was told by the tester it only needed to be a visual test, mind he did notice the front wheel bearing was a touch loose, despite being tightened just prior to the test, I think they are Chineseium specials, and generally last about a year,

I have my pooch strapped in the back of our Toledo, as stated above, there are plugs under the rear seat, I used a cheap seatbelt off Amazon, but only used the buckle, also from Amazon was a fly buckle to attach the dog collar to the seatbelt, all in all it took about 20 mins to fit, I dont think it...

Fiesta XR2 bracket welded to boot floor. There is also reinforcement inside the boot as well. Couldn’t get any photos inside boot today. The panhard rod at normal ride height needs to be dead level to get the the full benefit. Axle isn’t at or anywhere near ride height at the moment. https://i.ibb....

I honestly can't see the point of adding a panhard rod to a Dolomite. On a Fiesta, there are a pair of trailing arms and a pair of coilovers, like a Dolomite. But the Dolomite has it's angled upper trailing arms to keep the axle centred where the Fiesta has a Panhard rod instead. The Panhard rod is...

There are downsides to the panhard bar, one being the axle will be kept in place but arc around the opposing pivot point of the bar. so it needs to be as long as possible and equally mounted side to side. the shorter the bar the more likely of "Body Jack", Watts link will keep the axle par...

If you wait till next week I can take photos of my set up. Just upgraded to a adjustable pan hard rod So have a Fiesta XR2 rod available if you need one. Cut the bracket off a XR2 and welded to the boot floor. Thank you, pics would be good, I have had many leaf spring car that I have fitted a Panha...

Has anybody got pics or drawings of a Panhard bar for a Sprint, Im guessing a Watts linkage is not an option looking at the space behind the back cover and the floor.
