I think you=E2=80=99re right, Andy. I could have sworn I=E2=80=99d seen =
it listed in the Spare Parts Catalog, but I can=E2=80=99t find it now. =
It is in Kastner=E2=80=99s Competition Preparation Manual. =
Interestingly, it still has a part number (V0101), so presumably Triumph =
dealers sold them in period.
Any other info on make/model?
Thanks.
