Moss Motors is your ultimate source for anything Triumph (or MG or Jag)
in the U.S. Go to -
http://www.mossmotors.com
They're in Goleta, Ca., a little nw of L.A., and I believe also in N.J.
There are a few other sources, or were a few years ago when I was
Triumphantly active, which I'll look up and send if you want/need them.
Best,
