Norton Front Engine Plate Bolt Washer
A general-purpose washer, part number 00-0008, listed across engine mounting, gearbox, and other hardware assemblies in the parts books.
This is a plain washer that turns up under part number 00-0008, listed under the older number 000008 in some records. It's a small hardware item that shows up across a wide spread of figure groups in the parts books — engine mounting plates, gearbox mounting bolts, head steady and centre stand assemblies, even footpeg support plates and front fork listings. That range tells you it's a general-purpose washer the factory specified in more than one spot rather than a part built for one single job.

Because it appears across so many different assemblies in the catalog, the safest way to use this page is to match it against whatever bolt or stud you're working on rather than assuming it's the one and only washer for a given job. The catalog doesn't spell out a size or material for this one, so if you're chasing a specific fit, have the old washer or the bolt on hand to compare.
The catalog record spans a long stretch of years and a dozen separate listings, which tells you this washer had staying power in the parts books, but it doesn't pin down which specific bike or assembly you're holding parts for. Bring in the assembly or give the shop a call and we'll help sort out which washer you actually need.
