I'm after a parts manual for my Sprint...

Mine is a '77. Is there a parts manual for the later sprints as all I've seen on ebay is the earlier one.

Is there a big enough difference between early and late cars to worry about getting the right one anyway?

Thoughts?.........

Oh and yes I've got a few printouts from Mr. Stanley Parts website as well as Mr. Mad Mart's site. I'd prefer the full bound book

Triumph Dolomite Range 1976 Onwards Parts Cataloge.
This covers all the later models inc Sprint. Not cheap even secondhand.

Early Parts Book will serve you well, not a massive amount of difference, lots of it trim related. Get yourself to the Resto show in October, you will pick up a Dolly Range 76 on for reasonable dosh. There is even the bay, I purchased one for Â£1 locally a couple of years ago and collected it too - no bids

Ah, yes, makes sense Malc.

Alun, yes I'll scrounge that off you. I'm going to be at TDCIR so I'll grab it then if that's OK

Nope, different thing. The factory produced three books, the Repair Operations Manual, the Parts Manual, and the Repair Times Manual, which were sent out to all the dealers when the cars were released. I think they were also available to customers too.

IIRC The Parts Manual is a ring-bound folder which has pictures of every bit that goes onto the car, along with its part number and a rough idea of where it attaches. Very handy if you have taken the whole car to pieces and don't know how to put it together again.

So if you happen to come across two colin, put my name down for the other one.

Yes I'll keep an eye out for you too.

I'm saying I've taken my whole car to pieces and don't know how to put it together again.

Oh, so that can happen then

I didn't trust myself even though I've got loads of photo's

I'm glad I've got one on its way from Alun then

Do what I did and buy the CD-ROM that Heritage do. It covers all the models from the 1300fwd right up to the post-76 Dollies. It has the parts catalogues, factory workshop manuals & the handbooks. Rimmers sell them and if you take advantage of their current offer they'll fetch it to the TDCIR.
