It should be an 038 which is used on other Triumphs and the classic Mini. You'll find that a lot of Dolomite parts will fit the 1500fwd.

Please don't stop asking your questions. You don't find out until you ask.

The 038 battery, which is the "stock" fitment for all the smaller engined Dolomite family is 35 amp/hour. the 015 is exactly the same size and shape, but is 45 amp/hour, so a bit heavier duty.
