At last - a conclusion to this saga! Firstly, a few facts;
1. A Triumph Dolomite 1500 may only use a pre-engaged starter motor.
2. The ring gear on the Dolomite 1500 is different to that of a Dolomite 1300 and Sptifire 1500, hence an inertia type starter motor (as used on the 1300 and Spitfire 1500) will not work on a Dolomite 1500.
3. The Powerlite starter motors, manufactured by Eurolec, which were previously marketed as being suitable for the Dolomite 1500, sold by Rimmers and other retailers, DO NOT FIT.
4. Here is the good news....Eurolec have now developed a starter motor which fits the Dolomite 1500 and works perfectly!!!!
Many thanks to everyone who helped to solve this puzzle!
Yay, at last some clarification. I've always struggled to get people to believe me when I've told them the 1500 starter is unique due to the ringear being different. How much is the 1500 starter Andy?
