Where should I look to get spacers to run wire wheels on the longer 
bolt-on studs? Big three? Local speed shop? Hardware store? What 
specific dimensions will I need if it's not a Triumph supplier?

For context, I'm switching my broken axle for a spare with long studs 
for bolt-on wheels -- the long studs were the reason I bought a spare 
axle in the days before my on-the-car wire-wheel-wearing axle was 
broken. Later this year I'll have the money to spend on alloy 
minilite-style wheels but not now. So I want to run my wire wheels until 
that happy day. Thanks in advance, and thanks afterwards for all who 
sought to gently break the bad news about my broken axle.
