FRONT AXLE,1971-72 CONICAL
Front axle for the 1971-72 conical hub front wheel, part 37-3796.
This is the front axle for the conical hub front wheel, catalog part 37-3796, also listed under the older W3796 number. It shows up in the parts book under the FRONT WHEEL figure for the 1971-72 conical hub setup - that's the front drum hub with the distinctive conical taper shape that Triumph and other British marques ran in that era before switching over to different hub designs.

The axle is the shaft the front wheel spins on, running through the hub and fork legs and held by the axle nut and pinch bolts at the bottom of the sliders. If you're rebuilding a front end from this period and the old axle is pitted, bent, or the threads are worn, this is the replacement to look at.
Our catalog record ties this specifically to the 1971-72 conical hub front wheel. If you're not sure whether your front end uses the conical hub or a different style, check the shape of the hub itself before ordering - call the shop if you want to confirm before you buy.
