phild21 Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 As per subject can anyone confirm if TR7 wheels fit triumph PCD axle thanks phild Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bare Posted April 26, 2005 Share Posted April 26, 2005 Yes :-) ...Both are Triumph Parts and both use the Same PCD. .. TR7 is a source of ALL axle bits including different Ratios. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revin Kevin Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Bare, Do you know if the TR7 half shafts are the same, partucularly the length as I've seen on this forum people say the axle width is different. Also I believe and don't know if you can clarify whether dolomite axles/shafts are interchangeable with the Ital as I certainly believe the diffs are.

JampJ Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 We could do with more information like this, what fits what? Could be a little seperate section. what do you think? Cheers J&J Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bare Posted April 27, 2005 Share Posted April 27, 2005 Sorry don't know the details of the Various Triumph variants.. there were a few :-) My interest was in the Axle ratios... there are several useable ones. Ital axle setup was an mixture of MGB, Marina and Triumph parts.. Last ditch rumage inna parts bin by BL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revin Kevin Posted April 28, 2005 Share Posted April 28, 2005 Bare, As far as cw+p's go GT6's fit. Some time ago I had a conversation with a transmission specialist who is used by the seven community (I will not mention who), who was very vague when asked about interchangeability with other triumph parts, he did admit that most were, but rightly so I think he was trying to protect his hard earned knowledge. I think to sum up the possibilities are ( please anybody feel free to contradict or con firm as these are NOT all confirmed so don't hold me to it):- Dolomite diffs and associated cw+p's will fit " half shafts are???? due to length ( anybody got access to a Dollie to measure the axle width) Dolomite hubs and bearing will fit Spitfire/GT6 diff carriers and cw+p's ( believe the early type, pre crush washers ) will fit. TR 7 diffs ( from above ) will fit " half shafts ???? length ( again can anybody measure an axle length) MGB ??? any more info please.

Bricol Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 As far as I'm aware, the basic axle is the same in a Dolomite and a TR7 - as a TR7 was just a flattened Dolly in-effect. Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bare Posted April 29, 2005 Share Posted April 29, 2005 NO.. the track inna Tr7 is significantly wider than that in a 7..Ergo it ain't the same ..Take a closer look at the MGB/Marina axle :-) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bricol Posted April 30, 2005 Share Posted April 30, 2005 Bare, you read too fast - I'm saying the TR7 and Dolly axle are the same - not that either is the same as a Marina axle. But I'd have to say I would have though they would have been similar width - the Dolly wasn't exactly wide. The axle itself from what I remember of my Sprint wasn't really the thing to have under a Seven tho -it was rather heavy!! Bri Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revin Kevin Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 Bricol, A sprint axle and a standard Dolly axle are completely different axles. A Marina/Ital axle as far as I'm aware are all intense and purposes are the same as the standard Dolly axle, the only thing I'm not sure about is the width, therefore the half shaft length.

Mr Locust Posted May 2, 2005 Share Posted May 2, 2005 5 speed TR7 derivatives used the Triumph Salisbury type axle (cast casing, friction welded axle tubes and diff built in through the rear of the casing - also used on Dolomite Sprint) and 4 speed used banjo type (built in through the front on the diff carrier - same style of diff carrier used on Marina, Dolomite, Spitfire, GT6, Herald etc etc but built into their respective casings/carriers for beam axle/independent applications). I have manuals for Dolomite, Sprint, Spitfire, Toledo, TR7 and Marina Bri/Kevin - Both right? Bare - Any chance of writing in English? 😬 Ian Green and Silver Roadsport 😬 Edited by - Mr Locust on 2 May 2005 21:42:19 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Revin Kevin Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 Ian, If you've got the manuals can you comment on the widths of the Dolly and Ital/marina axles in particular. I'm trying to sus out if the half shafts are the same length. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mr Locust Posted May 4, 2005 Share Posted May 4, 2005 I can look, but a hynes manual is unlikely to give this info. If rear track width is stated wheel offset would be required to work back to axle width. Just Marina/Dolly info?

Revin Kevin Posted May 5, 2005 Share Posted May 5, 2005 Ian, Thanks for looking, do any of your manuals give a good diff rebuild description for the Ital, marina, dolly, haynes just usualy refer you to a specialist. Cheers Chris Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
