Wow! Thank you. Because I've been out of the Dolomite loop for so long I've not heard of Trackerjack brakes before. Are they easily available or are they a bespoke make?
A bit of both... off the shelf sierra calipers, "modern" vented discs drilled to fit the Triumph PCD, bespoke mounting brackets and hoses IIRC. There are plenty of people around (Steve 'Carledo' and of course Mr Trackerjack himself) who are better experts than I am on the details.

What's the problem with waterless coolant? It seems to tolerate much higher temperatures and it doesn't corrode the rad or water pump.
No problem with it... but if the pump, rad and coolant system is well fettled it's just not needed imho. Oh another mod on my car is the Volvo header tank for the coolant system (it's on the thread I linked to)
I stuck a piece of card in front of my rad over winter, until I fitted the SAAB thermostat it was over-cooling in the cool weather. Even when I absolutely thrashed the car over the tops (moorland national limit roads) it never went above 1/2 on the gauge and in hot summer on the motorway it doesn't rise either.
