Triumph TR6 - 76 Emissions parts

I just obtained a 1976 TR6 and am bringing it up to running order. I live in California where they still do smog inspections on 1976 models. The car has headers on it and in order for it to pass the inspection it needs the original emissions equipment on it. The tailpipe can be emitting pure oxygen but if they can't visual confirm the emissions equipment is there, it fails. So, I'm wondering if anyone here has their old emissions equipment thrown under their workbench that they would care to sell/rent to me? It appears I need the whole shootin match, manfold, air pipes, air pump, brackets, hoses, etc. Thanks.

I removed the air rail from my car this winter - it was badly rusted and leaking, and while I was trying to work out what to do, I found that a company called British Miles, just outside of Philadelphia, (www.britishmiles.com) has reconditioned manifolds on the shelf for the 75-76 model years. The guy I spoke to said he was pretty sure that they had just sold their last NOS air rail, but they could make one up from stainless. There are currently four Triumph air pumps on ebay, including one NOS ending later today. I would think that any of the places where used TR parts are available should have some or all of the other parts you need. I would offer you my air pump and such, but I want to hang onto it in case I ever move to a state with emissions police.

Email sent to britishmiles.com, awaiting response. Actually, I've got about 5 inquiries out to used parts places that are awaiting reponses. I've also been tracking the ebay items but I was dreamily hoping that someone would have this as a lot rather than in bits in pieces. You never know until you ask!
