TR4/4A TR4 Humps Big and Small

Hello, back with a few questions for you guys. As you may recall I have recently rebuilt the engine of my TR4. Out on a cruise to put miles on the engine I managed to have a deer run out in front of me and yes I did hit the poor thing. It did not go well for the deer, and my TR4 suffered quite a bit of damage.
So, I am currently in search of a left front fender with no rust and in good shape for my TR4. Also I am looking for a hood in the same condition as listed above. I have a lead on a hood but here is the question; what are the years of cars that had the small hump as opposed to the large hump? My hood has the large hump, the CT numbers put it as a '62-'63 but the California registration has it as a '64.

Ideas? And if anyone knows where I can locate these parts it would be greatly appreciated.

Tony, google Drakes British Motors in Kelowna B.C. He may have what your looking for and you'll save close to 10% on currency exchange.
 
I should have a good fender in case nothing more local shows up, can't help on the hood however. Sorry to hear about it.
 
Tony,

The short bulge was only up to CT6429.

TDSkip, I might have to take you up on the fender, having trouble locating one in my area. And Scott thanks for the info on the hump. My delema is, I can't seem to locate a large hump hood, so I may have to go with the small hump hood for now and take my time hunting for a good large hump hood. The reason I am in a hurry, the body shop and the insurance company are in a hurry to get my car done and out. I can later have the shop re paint the new hood and I can install it. I can always sell a perfect hood with a small hump to someone that is doing a complete and accurate restoration.
 
Tony, I can check to see which one I have in a day or so, not at the new house and we have snow everywhere. Might get expensive from NC. I think I have a picture somewhere also.

Have you checked at Triumph's Only in Stockton. That is assuming that they are still in business. I was there a few years ago when the business was for sale and he had a lot of TR body parts at that time.
