The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

When I fitted the Escort UJ, many, many years ago, I had to grind a bit of the inner wing flange away.

Only Black or Silver Sprint stripes from the club in stock. Any other colour is a special order. We also have 1500 SE stripes in silver, of course, but we also have a couple of Gold SE stripes.

Must be in Stoneleigh Connecticut or somewhere?

That's what I thought.

It looks like the lead to the tandem brake master cylinder warning light. Should be in the engine bay on the bulkhead where the brake pipes converge in the union.

Looks to be a standard cam from the photos. May have been reground. Measure the base circle & lobe height.

Mary & I will probably come down (not in a Dolly). We organised a TDC event there many years ago between the Bristol, and what was Avon, and the guys from the Devon area. I believe we had use of the small track there too.

Thanks Glen. Since posting I've done a bit more research on the TR3b/TR4 gearbox and it's pretty obvious, to me, this is where the Sprint box was derived. I'm hoping I can just swap the layshaft gears so the input shaft will still be a matched pair. I will also give Rob a call.

Can you put a TR3b input shaft into a Sprint gearbox?

I know they use the same bearings but the Sprint fourth gear has 22 teeth and the TR3b has 23. I'm just wondering if it would still mesh properly with the layshaft gear, albeit give a slightly different ratio?

I'll get in before Richard does, there is also a scroll type & lip seal type bellhousing. Neither is compatible with the other as the input shafts are different.

It turned out they only had two sets in stock but they are getting more in ten days.

Yes, thanks Mr Spam. I have, however, just bought the last four sets.

I got some from David Manners £5.52 each.

We stock this under GSB108 in our MG/Triumph department.

I had a great time yesterday on the TDC stand, as usual. I big thanks to the organisers and I was really impressed with the new club stand. :thumbsup: Also a big thank you to the ladies who drummed up more members to the club & regalia sales.

I’d inadvertently fitted the centre main bearing cap (#3) where conrod #3 should ...

It looks like the Jag part is similar. David Manners sells them £5.52 but out of stock at present. I do have one set coming from Ebay £12.60 including postage.
