Need help identifying probable 1960's Triumph parts
« on: November 30, 2016, 10:19:45 PM »
Hello!  I recently purchased a box of parts at an auction that had car and motorcycle parts.  I only wanted the car parts (which were for a 1966 Ford Fairlane), but there are Triumph motorcycle parts that I am guessing were from the same general era.  I want to list them on Ebay and sell them but want to identify them properly.  I would assume they all go to the same motorcycle, but I don't know specifically what year or model, and I don't know what the parts are called (I am not a motorcycle gal).  And by looking at them, are there any that I should just throw away based on condition?  My husband says the last photo is not something from a car, so I wonder if it goes somewhere on a bike? Any help is appreciated.

The last pic is a cover for an exhaust, think they call it a chip basket.
Don't know Triumphs well enough to say what model though, ditto the other bits. !
Have fun !

The only help I can give you is that those chrome 'U' shaped pipes with the plates on the ends will be off some sort of Japanese four cylinder, eg Honda 750/4 or maybe Kawasaki Z900.

The timing cover looks to be off a 500, the flat-backed headlamp is off one of the OIF models,and the rest will need more careful examination.

the rim is off a nacelle model
the indicator could be off any 1970s Triumph /BSA

top right gearbox cover is small unit Triumph
middle one looks AMC box
small round headlamp off a maybe a 250 Triumph thing
 brake plate looks like a Triumph rear.

chip basket would be off some export model with high level pipes I think.

timing cover could be off a unit 350 as well as a 500.

someone will want the bits but its no gold mine, standard autojumble stock.

don't regcognise the chrome bits, the push bike pedal is good for throwing at cats :o
