BSA Pivot pin, brake rod to pedal
Pivot pin joining the brake rod to the brake pedal in the rear brake linkage.
83-1460 is a pivot pin used in the rear brake linkage, connecting the brake rod to the brake pedal. It's a small clevis-style pin that lets the rod articulate at the pedal end as the pedal is worked, rather than a bolt that locks the two together rigid.

The catalog places this pin across the footrest and brake linkage figures as well as the swinging arm, centre stand, and rear brake control figures, which tells you it lives down at the back of the bike where the pedal meets the linkage rod running to the brake. It shows up across catalog entries from 1969 to 1970.
These pins are simple parts but they take wear where the rod pivots on them, so if the pedal feels sloppy or the rod has play in it, this pin and its retaining hardware are worth a look before you chase anything bigger in the linkage.
