What similar parts to Triumph 1300 Dolly

Post by Arthurdaily »

I was just wondering if the condenser, rotor arm and points etc. from a Morris 25d distributor would also work in a 45d Triumph dolly 1300 distributor? Anybody know?

Also, anything else similar - starter solenoid for example, bleed nipples? Etc

Thanks! :D

25d parts don't fit 45d .. Obviously general parts like battery/coil/alternator/starter and so on could be transferred.

Do you have the whole Dolly 1300 or just the engine and ancillaries? The one thing I noticed about a 25d that I got from a Dolly was that it didn't have an oil seal ring on the distributor shaft.
I have since fitted it to my Morris and I wouldn't say that it leaks much oil, if any.

If you are going to break it. The axle is fairly desirable as it is slightly shorter than the Marina one but the wheel nut spacing is different to a Minor. You'd have to weld new axle perches on to make fit. The differential should be 4.1:1 ratio.
And also the the front hubs, if they are discs, I believe (but not sure) are the same as the Marina and is a popular mod on a Minor. I'm not sure that the disc back plates/calliper mount are the same as the Marina though.
