They typically come with a new arm assembly as well, or in other words as a complete unit.
Moss Motors, Victoria British, British Parts NW and TRF all carry them.
I'd suggest replacing the gasket at the same time because by the time to float goes the gasket is typically toast as well and will allow gas to leak into the trunk. Ask me how I know that...

If the link doesn't work, search the Triumph forum here with the calendar set back about 1 month. Use the keyword "float".

I think the part number is Ford # COAZ9202B.
Sorry for not answering your question directly, but if it were me and I was in there anyway I'd spend the extra $10 for thew whole assembly and be done with it.
But as they say, your mileage may vary!
Good luck and let us know how it works out.

Thanks for the quick replies. I just ordered a COAZ9202B from https://www.varsityfordparts.com for $5.09+shipping. I also ordered a replacement gasket from Moss. I'll take pictures and let you know how the install goes.

Gerdo-
I wish I'd known sooner. I have an extra fuel float
but I need the sending unit assembly. I'd have gladly
swapped you my float for your sending assembly. /bcforum/images/%%GRAEMLIN_URL%%/yesnod.gif

I'm going to update the time machine here a bit..... I took TD's advice and ordered the float thru my very local Ford dealer. Float was $10; ordered it Sunday afternoon, picked it up tonight. Here's a picture of them side by side:
There's a touch of gas in the plastic float. The Ford float attaches very nicely to the TR6 float arm. I'll button this up next weekend when my box of TRF goodies arrives.... Thanks, Tom, for the tip!
