I am wondering whether my four-door, N-registration, 1974 Triumph Toledo 1300 "HL Special" with black interior, might have pre-threaded holes in the ceiling above the rear-passenger doors & front-passenger door, for the retro-fitment of these late-model grab-handles; having several years ago, salvaged a set of appropriate black colour, from a late-model Triumph Dolomite 1500 HL!?!
Regretably, I failed to note the positions of the ceiling screw holes in the Triumph Dolomite 1500 HL's ceiling!
It might.......but more than likely not! The U shaped grab handles fitted to HL cars (76>) are just that 1976>!
Prior to 1976, the earlier type of grab handles, the fold down, spring back ones as per the series 1 Sprint and my 72 1500FWD were the norm. And, wouldn't you know it, the fitting points in the roof are not mutually compatible between the 2 designs of grab handle!
Though your roof will almost certainly have the fitting holes, since the roof cantrail is the same, the holes will be in positions compatible with the earlier style of grab handle!
