Pump up your Trident with Norman Hyde
Concerned about the shortage and quality of old stock oil pumps for classic Triumph Tridents, Norman Hyde has created a brand new pump that is a straight replacement for the original. While the factory-fitted items have proved reliable, it is 35 years since the last Trident rolled off the production line at Meriden and many machines have covered high mileages by now, so demand for replacements is steadily increasing.
Hyde worked in Triumph's Experimental Department when the triple was introduced in the late 1960’s and has based his design on original factory drawings, specifying modern materials and machining methods to create a more durable and reliable product.
"With modern CNC machining, plus a quality of materials that was not available 40 years ago, these fine oil pumps will perform better than the original ones and last longer," says Norman.
Lubrication provided by a reliable oil pressure is essential to these potent air-cooled engines and requires a pump in peak condition, so the purchase price of £176.25 including VAT could be a wise investment for owners looking to get the most from their Trident.
Hyde’s pump will fit both T150 and T160 models as well as the BSA Rocket 3.
