CRANKSHAFT THRUST WASHER A50/A65 1966-ON
Crankshaft thrust washer for BSA A50/A65 twins, 1966-on, PN 68-0685.
This is a crankshaft thrust washer for BSA A50 and A65 twins, part number 68-0685, called up for 1966-on models in the catalog. It's a BSA part, not a Triumph one, even though it's carried in our system under a Triumph-style number. The washer sits at the crankshaft to control end float, working against the thrust faces on either side of the mains.

Our records also show this part under 68-0685BD, which the catalog lists as the number this one was superseded by, so if your parts book or an old invoice shows that number, it's the same physical washer.
We don't have much more written down on this one beyond what the catalog states. If you're not sure this is the right thrust washer for your particular crank and bearing setup, give us a call and we'll confirm before you order.
Sorry if we got something wrong here. If you think this information isn't correct, .
