The Spare Parts Catalogue lists the complete kit; there are also separate
listings for the lamp, switch, harness, lead, tube (p.v.c.) and lens seating
washer. If there was a bracket in the kit, it apparently wasn't sold
separately.

As suggested above, one would originally either have gotten the wiring in the
complete kit or bought the harness and lead separately. Back then, every
pence counted on the relatively low-volume production of something like the
TR4,
so Triumph didn't usually have wiring for optional extras built into the main
harnesses. Besides, with the various "Lucar" and "bullet" connectors they
used,
it was easy to add in supplementary wiring. ;-)
