Can`t say for sure, but i`m guessing the more expensive one is because it`s from a Triumph dealer.

they are both from world of triumph and the cheaper one says genuine parts?
the cheaper one is the p/no listed on the microfiche pdf ive got. i wonder if the newer one is an upgraded version?

How old is your microfiche pdf?

Might be a case of inflation if its an old version?

Over 10 years old then?

Inflation seems the most probable answer then

in that case ill go for the cheaper one. as long as there wasnt a problem with the earlier gaskets and they made an improved on or something (like they did on rover engines)
