Part number is 993-106-268-01. The p-car.com page also mentions new shims, so you might want to pick those up too.

Just wanted to update this thread for anyone who--like me--finds it by searching and assumes they'll be able to find a triple square driver at any auto parts store:
Sears--nope. One set available catalog only now, no stores carry them.
Autozone--nope. At least not on their web site and not in their store local to me.
Pep Boys--nope.
NAPA Auto Parts--nope. Tried three stores in my area. All would happily order it, but none had in stock.
Two other local autoparts stores--nope. Got the head scratch and shrug from one, the other called a guy from the back who "used to work on Porsches" who said, "Sure, I know what you mean. No, we don't carry them."
Anyway, you may get luckier, but $25 for fedex from Pelican doesn't seem like much to pay right now.

RallyJon- wow, that's some bad luck! I've noticed the triple square set at the local Pep Boys on several occassions over the past few years. I think the lesson here is that we should all buy one before we really need it.

Other option
Although my belt did not break they needed replacing so I opted to go with the RS Alternator pulley. A little pricey but simpler system to maintain and repair on the road if ever needed.
