Wheel tightening torque (Triumph GT6)

As per service notes that's correct. Both are machined to fit. Also alloy nuts which have straight sides (no degree bevel to align)

And BTW you should not fit Sprint wheels to the standard Dolomite this is what the service notes actually refer to so one would have to assume the GT6 would come under this category as well.

Thanks for all the advice.

There is a couple of guys running sprint alloys on the GT6 in the TSSC club.

AFAIK there have been no problems

Any idea how much a set of four alloys in reasonable nick is worth? (I have a spare set to dispose of)

This probably explains why there always seem to be lots of Sprint alloys around for sale very cheaply! Sorry mrcheerful!

Quiller Triumph charge £25 each for sprint alloys, although I did not buy mine from there.

There are some on Ebay you may want to watch

Thanks, I have had a look, it appears my wheels are not dolly ones, but Stag wheels at a guess (they came from a 2500 estate) Looks like I might try a cheap listing or put them into scrap aluminium.

Triumph 2500S cars has Stag alloys on them as standard I believe - they aren't worth much unless in excellent order but eBay is a good place to dispose of them. Also, Retro Cars mag has free sale listings. As for the price of Sprint alloys, it's often said that there are two things for the Dolly that will never be rare, rear lights and Sprint alloys :-) Oh and there's a nice Dolly discussion board on the Dolomite Reg club pages that's worth a post or two occasionally

Why on earth shouldn't you fit Sprint alloys to a standard car? I thought the front hubs at least are identical?
