Paul,
The one's I've found are L78S10's - and theyre in the TO-220 package...
I am about to go outside and fish out an old blown up regulator and put 
one together... and then send it to Martin :o)

At least here i nthe states.... the cheapest around is the
LM2940T-10.0   low drop regulator.   10 volts out @ 1amp
and only needs (spec'ed at)   11.4V to stay in regulation.
This is the TO-220 package. So heat dissipation should
be more than adequate for Triumph gauge apps.   This is also
small enough to stuff inside your old stabilizer package so it'll
look stock.  They work great for me.

If anybody is interested I have found a source of solid state 10v IC
regulators in the UK - they cost about #1 each - initial testing shows
them to work brilliantly - and they won't go bang so often!

Bit of a strange one this.  I am revisiting the problems I am having in a
reading on the fuel guage of my Mk1 Spit. (gave up last year!)
I recently purchase another fuel sender unit to test if its that but I
     

was
 

reading in my 60s workshop manual that the voltage stabiliser should be
checked first.  The input at the B terminal should be 12v (ie from the
battery) and yes it is.  The output terminal T (which runs to the temp
     

and
 

fuel guages) should be 10v.  Mine is down at 5v, which is probably the
issue.  Anyway, I have ordered a new one.
My question is that if the stabilizer is only providing a 5v output, why
     

am
 

I getting correct readings on the temp guage but not fuel as they both
     

use
 

the same feed?
