BSA Outer timing cover
Outer timing cover for the BSA A65 engine, housing the timing gears and carrying the kickstart and footchange shafts.
This is the outer timing cover, the housing that bolts onto the front of the engine and closes off the timing chest where the gears and cams live. The catalog title turns up alongside the kickstart and footchange figures, which is typical for this style of cover since it also carries the shafts for those mechanisms as they pass through to the outside of the engine.

Other catalog listings tie this cover to the A65 engine family for the early 1970s, which lines up with the single year on file here. This is a BSA part, not a Triumph one, despite whatever heuristic tag it might carry elsewhere.
We only have the one catalog appearance on this number, so if you're matching it up to your engine, give us a call and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
