Just a quick one but when I had my spitfire Rimmer Bros were the best specialists for Triumph parts.

www.rimmerbros.co.uk

Rimmer Bros Triumph House, Sleaford Road, Bracebridge Heath, Lincoln LN4 2NA

Tel: +44 (0)1522 568000 - Fax: +44 (0)1522 567600 sales@rimmerbros.co.uk

They also do some Leyland bits too so you can get new door handles etc.

Hi

S1,S2, and S3 Clutch Master cylinder is the same as Land Rover 90, 110 and ser3
(use the Lotus push rod as it is longer)

You can get the part from any Land rover dealer pattern part from around £12
Lucas part from around £30
