Norton Spacer, Chainguard Rear
A spacer for the rear chainguard mount, used at the swinging arm/suspension end of the guard bracket.
This is a spacer that sits with the rear chainguard mounting on the swinging arm/suspension end of the bike. Its job is simple: it's a sleeve that sets the correct standoff distance where the chainguard bracket bolts up, so the guard sits square and doesn't get pinched or left loose when the fastener is tightened down.

The catalog shows this one turning up in a single listing tied to 1975, and it's cataloged under the swinging arm, suspension units, and chainguard figures. It's a small, easy-to-overlook part, but if it's missing or the wrong length, the chainguard mount won't sit right.
Given the description names the chainguard directly, that's the mounting point to check against on your own bike before ordering. If you're not sure this is the same spacer your parts book calls for, give us a call and we can talk through fitment.
