Re: West Yorkshire Meetings

Quite possibly but looking at the map.
There is a north west meet at Daresbury Warrington this is closer I would think in the Dolly mixture there is the list of contacts for your nearest area.

Re: Headlamp relays

I put my relays behind the dash and split into the loom at the steering column plugs. I didn’t want my inner wings to be cluttered with the upgrade but it is your car so you can chose.

Re: Front wings

If it’s not been on a car there was a batch produced without the hole, I know one of mine didn’t and had to be drilled out. If you think of the early Toledos they had to be short bumpers and as such they wouldn’t need to have the hole in.

Re: Triumph Dolomite Club International Rally (TDCIR) 2024

Indeed, after initially saying we would attend looking at the forecast of a yellow warning for thunder and lightning in place, a doubt was cast. Nevertheless Barbara packed a variety of clothing for the eventualities. We arrived in a bit of a drizzle that was gone in an hour or so after a hearty ...

Re: Safe way to put holes in headlining for fixings

I got mine fully fitted then just felt for the holes and used a fine screwdriver to puncture it.
It’s pretty logical once you find the first one

Club plug tubes

Can someone tell me if the O ring seals are available from the club or the sizes so I can buy some.
I’ve had the cam cover off more times than I can remember and have a small pool of oil in one of the tubes now. Without wanting to create more trouble taking it all apart again.

Re: Was overdrive fitted to early 1850 / Sprint models ?

I added the wiring diagram to the manual as my car was optionally fitted with overdrive.
Saved me a whole load of faf when refitting it all back in.

Re: wiring diagrams



I was told that you can solve the lamp holder earthing problem by soldering as shown in the following photograph and since doing it I have not had a problem.

Re: Keys

Yes you can remove it and I’d recommend doing so.
Due to the nature of what it does it can get stuck/ damaged over time.
A lot of care and delicate movement can work it free.
Copious amounts of a freeing agent think I did use wd40 but knowing that it’s not good for long term lubrication of locks ...

Re: Alternative bulkhead material

I bought the pad available from Aldridge’s.
Before fitting it l marked out where the drain points are and don’t forget the inner wing points above the subframe bolts.

Re: Northern Dolly Day 2022

Well what a great event attended by 23 cars, big thanks to Steve for organising.
Some travelling from as far as Bristol, if you want to go the events are there.
