BSA Washer, for top cap nut line 25
Washer fitted under the front fork top cap nut, BSA part 65-5332.
This is the washer that sits under the top cap nut on the front fork, part number 65-5332. The parts book lists it against line 25 on the top cap nut in the front fork and steering head figures, so it's a small but necessary bit of hardware that keeps that fitting seated properly at the top of the fork leg.

The catalog description is plain: a washer for the top cap nut, nothing fancier stated about material or size in our records. It shows up across a handful of catalog rows in the 1969-1970 span, which tells you it's a common enough item during those years, but we can't say from this alone which specific models it was fitted to.
If you're rebuilding a top fork cap area and the old washer is chewed up or missing, this is the one to ask for by number. Give the shop a call to confirm it matches what your particular fork set needs before you order.
