Split pin
A 1/16 in. x 1/2 in. split pin used on petrol tank fittings in the early 1960s parts books.
This is a small split pin, 1/16 inch by 1/2 inch, that shows up in the parts books under the petrol tank section. Split pins like this one are used to lock a clevis pin, bolt, or similar fastener in place so it can't work loose from vibration - on a tank fitting that usually means securing a mounting point or a linkage where the tank attaches to the frame.

The catalog only shows this one appearance, tied to petrol tank figures from the early 1960s. It's a simple piece of hardware, not something specific to one model, so treat it as a general-purpose split pin sized for that application rather than a part number you need to chase down for a particular bike.
If you're replacing one, just match it up to the size, 1/16 inch by 1/2 inch, and you're in business. Call the shop if you want to confirm exactly what it's securing on your tank setup before you order.
