BSA Rubber, oil tank mounting
Rubber mounting grommet for the oil tank, used to cushion the tank against its bracket.
This is the mounting rubber for the oil tank, the grommet-style bushing that sits between the tank and its mounting bracket to cushion it against vibration. It shows up in the parts books under OIL TANK, TOOLBOX, and SILENCERS figures, which tells you it lives back in that cluster of parts tucked under the seat area.

The catalog description marks this as a BSA part, so if you're working on a Triumph don't assume this is your number - check your own parts book first. Our records show it appearing across catalog entries from 1969 to 1970, but that's what the catalog shows, not a guarantee of fitment to any specific model - confirm against your bike before ordering.
These rubbers dry out and crack with age like any old rubber mount, so a hard or split one is worth swapping even if it hasn't failed yet. Given how simple the part is, keep a spare on hand.
