According to my Catalogues and price lists connection, the bushing is Triumph
p/n 624508. Here in the US, The Roadster Factory lists them for $2.50 US
each. Presumably any Triumph supplier would have them?

It's been some time since I've dealt with a Spit/GT bonnet, so I really don't
remember if there's any problem in fitting these.
