Massey Ferguson is still the best place to get the individual components
required to rebuild a TR2-4 water pump. Please no tractor engine jokes
though.  Triumph built it BEFORE Ferguson was involved.

I've had many of the same issues with parts stores too.  Now I just ask for
the engine parts from the car they know, like for engine parts for my 1980
Triumph TR8, I tell them it's an early 60's 215 ci V8 Buick and I get just
what I need.
