QuestionI am having trouble locating orginal parts for this project. Where would you advise that I look for a replacement for the drain plug, located at the bottom of the gas storage bowl on the bottom of the carburetor, or a wheel spindle clamp for the right side of the front wheel, or a speedometer cable.
I have the original owner's manual and can supply pictures of the diagrams for these parts if needed.

Searching for parts to restore your classic Triumph is supposed to be a challenge and adventure. Each little find is a victory, filling your heart with a sense of pride.
Ok, enough of the bull.
Your main problem is finding the small pieces without having to buy the things they are attached to like buying a whole carb just because you need a drain plug. Asside from swap meets and auction sites, I can give you a few places to begin your hunt.

Contact some of those folks and see what they can do for you. Be sure to quote your engine number when ordering or checking stocks.
