Bush—brake cable stop
Bush for the brake cable stop, part of the control cable setup, listed under 37-3996 (also known as W3996).
This is the bush that sits at the cable stop for the brake cable, part of the control cable setup on the bike. It's a small fitting that the outer cable abuts against, letting the inner cable pull through while the stop itself stays anchored in place. Catalog listings show it under the CONTROL CABLES figure for machines in the early 1970s.

You'll also see this part numbered W3996 in older parts books — same physical bush, just the earlier numbering convention before the 37-xxxx style took over.
It's a simple wear item. If the bush at your cable stop is cracked, worn oval, or missing, the cable can flop around or bind at that anchor point. Worth checking when you're going over the brake cable run.
