Default Dolomite Sprint

Just wondered if any of you guys could help.

A friend of mine is trying to find a part for his TR7 Sprint that he's building up to go racing.

He's after an inlet manifold for the Dolomite Sprint engine, that takes twin Weber 45's carbs.

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Dave

make one from steel , it's not that difficult

the flanges can be water cut (use manifold gasket as pattern for engine side) then weld in some steel tubing (i made one years ago for a Renault 19 16valve engine and will probably do the same for the S2000 engine)

the advantage is that it can be made to whatever length and design you want

Martin would know.

Or try Rimmer Bros.

Call them up, the staff are very knowledgeable and they do stock Dolly parts 9not the cheapest, but good nontheless).

Thanks chaps

Have already checked out Brain Kitley Triumph, but he's out of stock, plus bloody expensive.

Moss UK, also have them on backorder, but at least they are cheaper.

Rimmer Bros don't list it as a part, but he'll give them a call anyway.

I tried to PM Madmart but it says there is no such member?
