I have a variable power supply so I set it at 12V and 2.2A and left it over night - the calipers were really rusty when I got them! Rather than using bicarbonate of soda I employed washing soda (more concentrated and cheaper) - it worked a treat so many thanks for passing this technique on. Good luck with the resto I really enjoy the thread and the other restos on here a really interesting and good way of learning things!

P.S Note that the gas that comes off is Hydrogen so no smoking while the cleaning is in progress!

Hallo
Jeg har et sikkerhetsbur til Triumph Dolomite Sprint for salg når jeg på dette nettstedet har sett at du gjenoppretter en Dolomitt ... Buret har vært i Dolomitt som John Fitspatrick kjørte Triumph fabrikken på 70-tallet ...... bur i Danmark, spesielt i Jylland ... Jeg vil selge den for DDK 5000 + mulig. levering ..
Jeg vedlegger noen bilder av buret ..

Hello Per. My car is going to stay on the road, but thanks for the offer.
Do you have any dolomite, or spare for sale?
Can some administrator please resize the way too large pics?

This is what Google Translate gives us:

Hello
I have a roll cage for a Triumph Dolomite Sprint for sale. When I was on this site I have seen that you are restoring a Dolomite ... The cage has been in a Dolomite as John Fitspatrick drove for the Triumph factory in the 70's ...... living in Denmark, especially in Jutland ... I will sell it for DDK 5000 + possible. delivery ..
I am attaching some photos of the cage ..
regards.
PerD

I have altered it slightly so it makes a bit more sense.

HI Ns, I knew of some spares in Denmark some years ago, a friend in the record industry found a Dolomite full of spares somewhere near the swedish border whilst looking for a record pressing machine - this was maybe 2-3 years ago - might still be there ? Can Pm you the address?
