POINT COVER TRIDENT
Contact breaker points cover for the Triumph Trident, fits over the timing chest ignition points.
This is the small cover that sits over the contact breaker points, part number 70-6519, listed in the parts books as the Point Cover for the Trident. You'll find it referenced in the TIMING COVER AND CONTACT BREAKER figure as well as the CRANKCASE - TIMING GEARS - OIL FILTERS figure, which tells you where it sits in the timing chest area of the engine. Older parts books list this same piece under the E6519 number.

The cover keeps road dirt and oil spray off the ignition points so they stay clean and gap properly. It's a small, unglamorous part but if it's missing or cracked the points underneath are exposed to grime that can cause misfires or hard starting.
Our catalog record ties this one to the Trident, and it shows up across entries spanning 1969 through 1974. If you're not sure whether your particular machine takes this exact cover, give us a call and we'll confirm before you order.
