Craig,
I had exactly the same problem. Went to TRGB (Triumph specialist near
Cambridge, in the UK), who not only had a replacement for this little bit, but
theirs was metal, not plastic, so it won't ever break again. One minor
problem, the hole that the roll-pin fits into was a little too small. First
attempt to drill it out and I broke the finger off (metal quite soft and
brittle), so I got another one and tried again - all fine this time.
So, replacements are definitely available, but whether anyone in the States has
them I would have no idea. Call around, or, if you are lazy and don't mind
paying the postage on a light bit of kit, call TRGB (remember we are 6 hours
ahead of you, so by 11:30 your time they will be closed). (Also remember that
if you ask for a 'driver side' one you will end up with one that will fit your
passenger door, since we all sit on the other side. Best stick with 'left'
and 'right'!)

Sorry, don't know the part number - when I went in I got half-way through
describing the problem and they went straight off and got the bit off the
shelf. A quick look at both Moss and Rimmer catalogues - they definitely do
not sell this part, or have a number for it, since they both show exploded
diagrams with 4 or 5 parts arrowed, and a note below saying that the only
parts they stock individually are those with numbers against them.
