The hand change has no gate and a pain to find gears when changing down, and top gear postion is physically low on the bike.
Spares are almost impossible to find, just keep looking, autojumbles, fleabay etc, if your front brake is the useless internal expanding band type it can be replaced by D1 bantam back plate and shoes with some fettling, dont make the brake work too well as the girders are not that strong and have been know to bend or snap under hard braking.
The original chaincase has a bulge to clear the mag sprocket, there is video of my engine running on youtube, just search Triumph model w first run.

If your primary chaincase cover is original I would really appreciate a photo of it so that I can get a decent copy made. So far I have had the magneto rebuilt and also the fuel tank was beyond repair so she has a brand new one. (flat type beneath tube though)
Regards, Ian Slade
