Sprint Headers
Posted: Sun Sep 16, 2012 9:34 am
Hi Everyone,
I dont know how much interest there is but I have a Dolomite Sprint built to BTTC (and Australian Group C) homologation specs. I have owned it for many years, and unlike in some places, in order to race in Group C Historics, one must have the 'original' car, certified by our authorising body CAMS in the land of Oz with a C.O.D. I have owned this car for many years and at first it was in its livery dating from 1975 Bathurst 1000. I discovered later it also raced at Bathurst 1000 in 1979, and in other events up until 1984, as one of up to three cars in the JagParts racing team. The car was first built by Ron Missen for Ron Hodgson Racing in Sydney, and I have an original copy of Missen's confidentil specifications for the car. The car has sonce been completed rebuilt and repainted in Jagparts final livery including flares etc.
More recently i decided to fabricated asystem for the exhaust as the old cast iron box even though its opened up and runs a three inch pipe restricts breathing somewhat. So here is a picture of the headers - in three parts, we had to completely rejet those 48mm Webers and in a few days will do a final check on a dyno before putting it back on the track after a considerable lay-up. Interested to know what other think.
