Bob,
When I purchased my '59 TR3A several years ago, it suffered from a
broken stator tube.
Like you, I could not find a "new" part from Moss, TRF, Vicky British,
etc. I used Hemmings to put together a list of Triumph parts suppliers
and using the phone, found one. Sorry, my records are at home so I can't
give you the name and number of the place where I got it. But a new
Hemmings will be much more current. Good luck.
