You cancontact SPIT BITS at spitbits@spitbits.com They also have a web site
at http://www.spitbits.com/
Any of the other parts suppliers should have this too. I didn't check
though. You can find contact information for them on the Vintage Triumph
Register. (http://www.vtr.org/)

Take your transmission tunnel cover off. Look at the gearbox. Below where
the shifter mechanism enters the box. You will see the ends of three rails.
If you see that you have a three rail gearbox. Besides that I believe
that all 73's have it. Don't quote me on that though. You can also tell
by the Gearbox number.
