Needle
An Amal carburetor needle used in the 6T, T110, TR6, and Bonneville 120 carb setups from the early 1960s catalog listings.
This is an Amal carburetor needle, listed simply as 'Needle' in the parts book. It shows up in the carburetor figures for the 6T, T110, and TR6, as well as in the Bonneville 120 float chamber figure, so it's part of the fuel metering setup inside the carb body rather than anything on the float chamber itself despite the second figure listing.

The needle works with the throttle slide to control fuel flow through the jet as the throttle opens and closes, which is basic to how an Amal carb meters fuel across the rev range. Wear or the wrong needle profile can throw off carburetion, so if you're chasing a flat spot or rich/lean condition this is one of the parts worth checking.
Our catalog record doesn't give a needle size or taper code, and it doesn't tie this part to a specific model year within that 1960-1962 span. Give the shop a call with your carb model and we can help confirm you're getting the right needle before you order.
