If it is the column stalk and if you want to go for a new one, rather
than one from a breakers yard, Rimmer Bros has them for:

LHD U.S. Spec cars (Part # AAU8844) - GBP 33.48     US $56.14     CAD
$86.41
RHD  (Part # AAU8843) - GBP 30.50     US $51.14     CAD $=78.72

They have an excellent on line catalogue illustrating Triumph spares.
