I suggest you ask around the Texas Triumph Register.  Their PO Box is in Houston, so they must have plenty of members thereabouts.  I know that my Chapter of the VTR has tons of members with parts lying about and expect that Triumph-car folks in Texas are not that different in that regard.

Thanks for the references.

I did get a pair of hubs to play with. But I have plenty of other bits to scrounge around for.

I need that blue taper  matching test compound.  Know of any?

Ask for Prussian Blue.  Machinists also call it "layout dye".

VTR?  I don't know that one. Too many possibilities. Especially with V.

Or was that "TTR"?

Vintage Triumph Register is a national organization.

 

Texas Triumph Register is a chapter of VTR.  My chapter is Minnesota Triumphs Sports Car Club.
