Re: Strombergs / SUs
Cheers! My train of thought was to fit HS6s with, as you suggest, the matching manifold, linkages etc. that I believe should be on my engine anyway- I'll look up the engine number when I'm back with the car. Hadn't even thought about HS4s but I imagine they are more suited to a 2000? The engine shou...

Re: Strombergs / SUs
I'm sure this is a silly question to the old hands (and not quite the right place to ask but it is related) but what is actually involved in swapping from one to the other? I've got a bit of a bitsa- originally a Mk2 PI (so pre facelift) but with the engine from a post facelift 2500TC (from memory),...

Re: Mk2 Estate Hubs & Diff, panels- Wanted
Thanks for the advice John. Sounds like the Stag rear end would almost be an ideal solution then. With the current diff and overdrive it's pretty long legged so I'm sure the slightly lower ratio wouldn't be a problem to me. t2000, where in the world are you? And what condition are the bits in- are w...

Re: Mk2 Estate Hubs & Diff, panels- Wanted
Cheers folks. Sorry Mike, looks like I'd scribbled down the wrong one when I was trying to work out what I needed! I assume it's still got the right diff, although having checked the serial numbers out it's the wrong engine (still a 2.5 but not a PI). t2000- that would probably make life quite a bit...

Mk2 Estate Hubs & Diff, panels- Wanted
Hi folks, Having got some miles under my belt on my newly purchased PI (now on carbs) manual estate, there's a few bits that we've established need doing sooner rather than later. The car is supposed to be on the RBRR in October... The diff is extremely noisy when cruising, which from the amount of ...

Re: New potential 2000ist
Had a test drive of a 2500TC, can definitely see why they are such popular cars for long distance driving events.
Not the smartest example out there by a long shot but it drove well- have agreed a price but the owner is still using it as his modern has broken down...

Re: New potential 2000ist
Cheers folks. I assumed it was probably something along those lines Mike, no bother, just made me chuckle especially as you must have almost dealt with it by return of post as it were. Must admit I really enjoy driving the Dolomite, it goes very well, handles nicely (I may have low standards in this...

New potential 2000ist
Hi all, Just signed up to the forum, not an owner yet but actively looking. Never owned a Triumph myself but I helped with a pretty thorough restoration of a Dolly 1850HL belonging to a friend and have done two RBRRs in it now, however I gave up my seat this year so the owner's Dad can have a go. Fo...
