BSA Bottom stay, front mudguard
Bottom stay for the front mudguard on 1969-1970 BSA models, PN 97-3685.
This is the bottom stay for the front mudguard, the small brace that ties the lower part of the fender to the fork or fork leg so it doesn't flex and crack under the vibration of the road. It's a bodywork piece, not a structural fork part, but it does real work keeping the front fender steady and stopping it from cracking around the mounting holes over time.

The catalog carries this one under PN 97-3685, showing up in mudguard figures across catalog years 1969-1970. It's listed as a BSA part, so if you're working on a Triumph front end, this isn't the stay for it - check your parts book or call us to confirm you've got the right catalog entry before ordering.
One of the catalog listings we've seen references a chrome finish on this stay, which lines up with the bright trim typical of front mudguard hardware from this era. If your bike's stay is pitted or the mounting ears have cracked, replacing it is a straightforward job, but make sure the number matches what's in your own parts book first.
