I think there's one left amongst Jon Tilson's things, but I'll have to find it to check which side it is.... |

Sorry all. I’ve just realised I’ve posted this in the wrong section. It should obviously be in “wanted”. If a mod wants to move it for me please do.. |

How about these:- https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Triumph-GT6- ... 0005.m1851 Very late GT6 Mk3's had self adjusting rear brakes the same as the Sprint Regards, Paul. |

Holy crap! £50! I'm glad mine didn't go when I did my handbrake last month, I wasn't nearly careful enough with them clearly!

[/quote] Holy crap! £50! I'm glad mine didn't go when I did my handbrake last month, I wasn't nearly careful enough with them clearly! [/quote] I don't see your problem. These are likely to will be very low volume manufacture being turned out in a small workshop possibly taking a couple of hours to make. I am sure if the demand was higher, then an alternative method of manufacture would likely lead to a more reasonable price. For example the equivalent part for Spitfire would be around £12 for a pair and for Stag £30. Surely a person is entitled to make a reasonable income from their hard work? Paul. |

[/quote] Of course a business should make money otherwise what's the point but I too thought along similar lines to 'holy crap £50 ' it IS a lot of money for what is a small part (and I hope those rivets hold) that can't be seen but obviously is needed, unless you swap to non adjustable set up which would end up costing about the same. |

I have seen the eBay items, and whilst I appreciate the time on manufacture that someone has taken, I won’t be paying £50 for them just yet. I would probably buy them if I needed a pair, but as I only need the left hand side, I’ll hold out for a second hand one for now. It is nice to know that they are available though, because if one doesn’t turn up I may have to bite the bullet. Cheers for your help though, and if you do see a left hand one anywhere let me know. I will email Geoff at Wins because I’m sure he will have one available, but I wanted to try through the forum first - keep it in the club if you see what I mean?......... |

These levers are the same on all 1500 and 1850 Dolomites, as well as the Sprint. Ian. |
