Ron Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 Triumph 'single' main engine parts are hard to find, but items such as pistons, valves, guides, crank bearings etc shouldn't be a problem. Lots of other parts were carried over to post war bikes and can be obtained from dealers such as Trisupply in your home county or Ace Classics in London. John Brewster makes fork spindles/bushes and head stock bearings. I'm also in Dorset (Poole) and have a 3SW and 3HW in my collection. I'm also currently restoring a 5SW for a friend. Give me shout if you want to pop in. Ron Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I will look into the parts suppliers you mentioned but thank you again for your reply. I have been on this site for just over a day and I already have had a whole bunch of people saying hello! I'm so glad I came here! Matt. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
