I posted this on the collector forum, but thought it might get a bit more visibility here. I'm wondering about originality and value. There are two holes in the pan, I know that some Triumphs were manufactured that way, but don't know if it's original to this particular model. Also, I've not seen chain like this on a Triumph, and wonder if it belongs there. There is one broker locking lug, and I know that will affect value. Any information would be much appreciated.

I got out of collecting a long, long time ago but that is a TOUGH trap to find! The jaw lugs are usually broken. I THINK that chain is an old Triumph chain that may or may not be right for that trap but it IS a Triumph chain I am pretty sure. Hopefully Wissmiss or one of the other experienced collectors will chime in. You can always PM "Bumpy" too and Eddie will help you out.

Thank you Rob. Do you happen to have a guess on the holes in the pan being original? I think I have Eddie's number, so if I don't get some answers, I can shoot him a text.

If I had to GUESS I would say they are correct but I got rid of my meager collection years ago. The garage got 8 inches taller when they all came down off the ceiling. If you don't have Ed's number let me know and I can send it to you. Ed is a good guy and a straight shooter.

My 4-XT has that chain on it. My pan does not have any holes in it. But it is possible they might have used different pans.

Thank you for the information kev.
