What similar parts to Triumph 1300 Dolly

[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!

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

Thanks BMC

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.

Hi, I have the whole 1300 - it is my new toy :0)

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.
