Hi Dawson, When I restored my 1970 spitfire there was a guy just north of
Santa rosa in the back roads somewhere near the Casino that had a junk year
full of triumph spitfires, parts and pieces. Others may know him, I will look
for his business card. I think I found him through Mark at British European
Motors.

Fantastic!
Can I swing by some time today (Friday) or Monday to pick it up?
I'm happy to pay you for it.
I'm also looking for a new bell housing. There's a tube pressed into the
back of the bell housing that holds the transmission rear oil seal in place,
and mine is sheared off. Rather than get the tube, and have it pressed into
the old bell housing, it just occurred to me to look for a replacement bell
housing.
Also, this guy has tons of parts, in the event you need something:
