Well I have an engine of unknown condition, and I am considering a sprint conversion.
Now lets just say the seller was less than honest, no-one here I am glad to say, and it was implied certain things would be attached which are not. Lesson learnt, ebay or forum only from now on.
So that leaves me short a few bits. Manifolds, flywheel, carbs and various other parts. So having being burnt I need to salvage the situation. So if anyone has any parts for sale, please pm me.

Re: Dolomite sprint engine
There are some exhaust manifolds at Ted's, but it's likely to be June before my next visit.
I have a pair of carbs on a manifold and can probably find a flywheel. What else are you missing?
Where are you located?

Re: Dolomite sprint engine
If you're after some parts why not start a thread in the "wanted" section? I can move this thread there if you want.

Re: Dolomite sprint engine
Jonners, if it is the 1850 that Steve W. has been offering, it has already been spoken for...
