Brooklands has printed the Spare Parts Catalogue for different marques under
a separate cover.  I have one for the TR-3 and Randall is right, it is avery
useful document.  I do have a Bentley "The complete Offician Triumph TR2 &
TR3 1953-1961" book which was published in 1976.  It includes the Official
Driver's Instruction Book and Service Instruction Manual.  It does have an
electrical section with one wiring diagram.  I have seen other books with
different diagrams for the different years.  There were some changes.

I've had good luck using addall.com to find original older books.  It is
just a search engine that looks through about 29 on-line book stores.  You
may find something there.  NFI, just found a good site.

Answers to all your questions can be found at :

But note that these are just reprints of the original factory manuals; and
in spite of the titles, are generally not complete.  For example, I've not
seen that any of them include the factory "Spare Parts Catalogue", which is
a very useful document.  And the TR2-TR3 'Bentley' lacks the later editions
of the "Drivers Instruction Manual", which seems to be the only place the
factory documented the correct wiring diagrams for the later cars.
