Well, here's the depressing, discouraging response:
 
Without wishing to complicate the issue, I believe the problem might be the 
 weight of the Stag. I bought two sets of cheapy dollies a few years back,  
so I could move around my TR3A and my wife's 1991 Mustang convertible. The  
dollies worked great with the TR, but useless with the Mustang because  of 
its weight. Since, I have tried many different types and have yet to find  
something that works well with a heavier vehicle. Similarly, my wife's uncle  
bought the most expensive set of dollies he could find (sorry, don't know 
the  make/type) so he could push around his 1929 Packard. The vehicle 
wouldn't  roll at all.
 
My personal, uneducated opinion is that you might not find a set that  
works, no matter how much you spend, with a Stag. So, now you're options are: 
1. 
 Buy a lighter Triumph or 2. Don't use the dollies.
 
With apologies for being fecitious. I honestly am not anti-Stag. I've owned 
 three of them and think they're brilliant. Just heavy on dollies.
