All:
I got the TT manual and looked up the numbers. Their part numbers are
910045 for the left side engine valance, and 905222 for the right. The
catalog claims that they fit all models and that they are "Re made side
valances with upper metal support all models". The price book says about 22
pounds apiece including VAT which doesn't seem too bad, but I can't speak
for the quality. I'll probably order a set myself for the +.
Triumphtune: 0181-948-6668
Cox & Buckles: 0121-544-5555
Later!
