Hi
The Dolly Sprint axle appears from looking at a Haynes Manuals to have been
unique as a unit though it definitely shares a lot of bits with the earlier
TR's like the 3.45 cw/Pinion and the 5 Speed TR7 has a similar axle tube
with different mounting bracketry, but was not fitted with the 3.45 ratio
innards, I guess if you needed a replacement axle tube the TR7 could donate
that with an earlier 3.45 equipped TR donating the internal bits.
The Dolomite Sprint uses the Small PCD stud pattern but I have seen pictures
of a Dolomite Sprint wearing Stag alloys, I think it was also using Stag
drive flanges though I am not sure about this. It was however powered by the
Stag Engine from what I remember!
