Norton Nut, speedometer and tachometer (3/16" British Standard Cycle)
A 3/16 inch British Standard Cycle nut for securing speedometer and tachometer cable fittings.
This is the small nut used to secure the speedometer and tachometer cable connections, specified as 3/16 inch British Standard Cycle thread.
