Hi, Why not try Sheffield British Motorcycles (Bantam John)?
I searched all over the Country for a Triumph rear mudguard before I found him in my home town!
 John does not use the internet, so old fashioned communication is necessary.  His phone is 01246 290021 (I believe you drop the first 0 from abroad).  His address is NOT Sheffield (though close by) but,
26/30 Lowgates, Staveley, Chesterfield, Derbyshire, S43 3TT.
 I have taken it upon myself to ring him (local call). He said he HAS one, but it may depend on the year.
Good Luck! Jim Walker.

If you're careful and know what you're looking for Ebay UK is still quite useful if you don't want to pay new prices. Alternatively, Len Craig does new mudguards and they will ship to Europe if you can't wait for your friends. HN

Hi, Len Craig is a great source of spares and I have bought lots from him.  I did not mention him because he could not help me with a mudguard.  Nor, it seemed could anyone else,  but John did.
  Keep trying, Jim.

They're listed in Len Craigs catalogue but then again, there were quite a few different mudguards over the years fitted to the big twins, some of which are pretty rare - as any owner of a 57-59 650 will tell you  :'(

Ace Classics in London do a good range of pre unit tinware.

Good luck!

I personally recommend Len Craig & Sons for Triumph twin spares (his place is only about a 10 minute ride away, which is convenient if I need anything in a hurry):  
http://www.lencraigandsons.co.uk/
Parts suppliers like Len and others do run out of stock of various items from time to time, and it can take a while to get new stocks of parts in, so it's worth trying again if Len or others do not have the actual parts in stock.

Or try Tri-Cor England: http://www.tri-corengland.com/
