The Triumph Dolomite Club - Discussion Forum

The other option is to use the Mk1/2 Escort Race/Rally Tank.
Sits between the turrets
Shaped for a spare wheel.

CompBrake and CT Fabrications can make tanks from pattern sizes.
As can Pro Alloy.

If I was to do the Fuel again.
I possibly would use the Range Rover P38 unit.
The pump can be replaced or updated easily.
Mounting plate can also be scorched making it a bolt in out unit.
Plus drop the hieght and overall size a bit and foam filled.

I done away with my original tank
Had an alloy tank made to fit in between the rear turrets.
Larger capacity (Rotary’s are Thirsty)
Internal swirl pot. AN Fittings.
External Fuel Pump and filter.
Will run a return line back to tank.

Still to finish off.

I believe he’s running a Dolomite tank from memory with external pump.

Dare say he be along soon to confirm or correct me.

Sadly not another Dolomite.
But a Triumph Tiger 850 Sport.

Phill is old enough to have whalebone!

No.

Just got myself another Triumph.

Anyone like to guess which one.
No prizes for the correct answer.

Was that the 76 Sprint.
Was it listed at £7850 or sold at that.

Something like this.

I think if you pull the shaft out leaving the backplate loose you can get the studs in.
It’s been a while since I’ve done them.

More faff shimming up the end float if you don’t have too.


Plus are you sure some of the old noise isn’t coming from the bearings? .

Rear Axle refitted. Rear Gaz Adjustable Ride and Height shocks New Bolts thoughout with washers and Nyloc nuts. New Bearings on the Half Shafts. Disc conversion carried out.

Hats off to you mate.
For getting this far and sticking with it.

Was it MOT to the Vehicle age?.

One day maybe all the Engine Modified Dolomites could have there own day out together.
