Home > Vehicle Data > Part Equivalents & Substitutes
sports six info logoThis section provides information on alternative and equivalent vehicle parts for use on Triumphs. When the list grows to the point of unwieldiness I will place it in a sortable database. For now you'll have to put up with a basic listing, with pictures, part numbers and suppliers noted wherever possible.

This section is currently in the process of being built. I have various items to add, some of which need photographing.

Engine
 Thermostat
Cooling : Thermostat: (for all models)
Part No: GTS102 (74°), GTS104 (82°), GTS106 (88°)

This is neither an equivalent or a substitute, but its worth remembering that the thermostat used in Triumphs are identical to those used in many other British Marques, and thus are available almost anywhere! Other marques include Jaguar, Morris, Austin, BL & MG. 
 
Trim & Bodywork
Lights : Front & Rear Lamp rubber surround: (for GT6 Mk1-2, Spitfire 1-4)

Short description coming soon.
Pictures and full description coming soon.
 
 
Lights : Stainless Steel bezel for L594 type light: (for GT6 Mk1-2, Spitfire 1-4 & others)
Part No: (original) 476

These bezels are used on vehicles equipped with Lucas L594 and L488 lamps. The original part is chromes steel and prone to pitting and rust especially if they become bent or scored whilst replacing bulbs. These stainless replacements are cheaper than the originals, and a good idea for a daily driver as a 'fit and forget' part. They aren't quite as shiny as chrome, but still look great. Suppliers include: Mere Components (uk), Mini Spares (uk)
 
 
rubber boot for L594 light
Lights : Rubber boot for L594 type light: (for GT6 Mk1-2, Spitfire 1-4, TR2-3 & others)
Part No: 478 (short type for L594 lamp) & 477 (long type for L488 lamp)

This rubber boot is part of the sidelight, indicator and reversing light assembly on the vehicles noted above. The same part is used on many other British 'Lucas' equipped cars of the same era (Morris 1000, Mini etc).
It's worth noting that the L488 type lamps found on many Standard and Austin Healey vehicles also use a similar boot (part: 477) which is longer to accommodate the more 'back-set' lamp holders - this longer version can be used as a substitute on Triumphs. Suppliers include: Mini Spares(uk), SVC(uk)
 
 
Electrical
Lights : Bulb holder for L594 type light: (for GT6 Mk1-2, Spitfire 1-4 & others)
