Looking to get a rebuild kit for my 97 thunderbird-I have called around and keep getting pointed back to the dealership. Is this the only option? Thanks for your help.

I'm pretty sure no one makes a kit. Unless you need a new inlet needle and seat (unlikely) there is not that much to replace. A few o-rings and the bowl gasket is about it.
As long as you have a Haynes or Triumph manual, you should be OK.

are the o-rings and float bowl gasket acquired from the dealership? are they individual parts or do they have an o-ring/gasket carb package? Thanks for your help...can't wait to get it back on the road again.

Individual parts.
You could probably source the o-rings elsewhere but you would need to know all the sizes. Probably best to get them from the dealer. They shouldn't be too expensive.

Triumph carbs are 'proprietary' designs so unless you can match the carbs to something used on other brands you're pretty well limited to the dealer.
