The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

Myself and one will be attending in our 1850 Dolomite. Not sure this is the right location to post so apologies if it isn’t.

Weather looks good this weekend. Anyone fancy an impromptu meet up at The Barrel Inn, Address
Bretton
Eyam
Hope Valley

on Sunday 12 midday. Fantastic views over five counties.

Just looked at the Facet pumps that you recommended. They’re supplied by Merlin Motorsports so going to give them a call tomorrow. Do you know anyone that has one fitted Steve. Spec on output PSI is 2 - 4 which might be a little strong.

Cheers Steve, your advice is very much appreciated. An hour ago I was definitely going back to a mechanical from Robsport. Now I’m definitely going for a Huco electric!!! Who knows what the next hour will bring. The Huco’s range from £35 - £90 for the same pump!!!! I’d rather pay the extra from a ...

Okay so I think Steve was spot on with his advice about the fuel pump. I refurbed the carbs yesterday with a kit from Burlen. Initially, I purchased one from Rimmers but several components were not correct!!!! So it was returned…..lesson learned.

I put the carbs back on the car. Set the ‘base ...

Steve, Clive and Rich, thanks for your replies….all very much appreciated. A friend is making up a pressure gauge so I can check the pump pressure and I am collecting a carb rebuild kit from Rimmers tomorrow. I have changed all the hoses and I shall reassemble with ultra care, given the advice re ...

I’ll check. Cheers

I have just replaced the mechanical fuel pump on my HL1850 Auto as I thought the old pump was on its way out. I have also replaced the carb mounts with the club’s alloy mounts.
My replacement pump was very kindly gifted to me from the Club’s stand at the recent Triumph/ MG event. It was made clear ...

Cancel last. Got sorted at Rimmer.

Three changes in and I’m to this colour!!! I reckon there’s a few more yet. What do the experts think please.

Hi there,
I’m after the horns if they are still available please. Also the ‘ bulkhead mounted washer bottle…….’ Is that this one.

I’m not so much after the bottle but my washer pump has expired if the one for sale includes one.

Kind regards,
Richard

Many thanks for that. As soon as the fog clears in Sheffield, I’ll take her on a longer run and test again

How hard can this be….I’ve read the previous posts, read Haynes and read the Owners manual. I’m a man’s man, I don’t read instructions but I’m embarrassed to say I’ve been defeated by something as simple as a ‘dipstick’. I know by the end of this post ‘dipstick’ will probably be my new user name ...

First run out today since I took possession of the car. I needed to fit new tyres after the others had perished. I took the opportunity to have the wheels shot blasted and powder coated back to the standard look ( I have a great contact in Chesterfield for shot blasting and powder coating). Running ...

Cheers Shaun I’ll take a look
