Welcome to the zoo... ;-)
There are lots of parts suppliers around. Tuck this reference (the
so-called "Monster List") under your pillow:
http://www.dimebank.com/monster/vendors.html
You will often see references to "The Big Three". They are (in no
particular order):
The Roadster Factory http://www.the-roadster-factory.com/
Victoria British http://www.victoriabritish.com/
Moss Motors http://www.mossmotors.com/
There are many other vendors as well. I try to move my purchases around a
bit. Here are some of the other folks I've worked with quite happily:
British Parts Northwest http://www.bpnorthwest.com/
British Parts Connection http://www.thebpc.com/
Kim's Imports (no website - search for Kim Graff in the
Monster List)
Others that I've seen mentioned favorably, but haven't used myself include
Rimmer Brothers (UK) http://www.rimmerbros.co.uk/
McMaster-Carr (hardware) http://www.mcmaster.com/
Triumphs Only http://www.triumphsonly.com/
I'm sure others can recommend at least this many other good folks to work
with. I recommend you find a local parts place/mechanic that deals with
Triumphs or orther britcars. (I found Kim Graff that way when I still lived
in upstate New York.) I suspect many of them will be Moss distributors.
