Timing Cover
Timing cover for the Triumph engine, housing the timing gear train — from a single 1983 parts book listing.
This is a timing cover for the Triumph engine, part number 71-7501. It shows up in the parts book under the timing cover and gears figure, which puts it on the side of the motor that houses the timing gear train — the gears that keep the camshaft and ignition timing working in step with the crank.

The catalog only shows this one appearing in the 1983 listings, and it only turns up in that single record, so we don't have a lot of cross-year history to lean on for this part number. If you're working on something from that era, this is worth a look, but confirm against your own parts book or give us a call before you order.
As a cover, its job is mostly to keep the timing gears enclosed and running in oil, and to give you a flat mounting face for whatever gasket or seal your setup uses. Beyond that, we don't have more detail on this one from what's in our records.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
