Nut, torque stay to brake plate
1/2 UNF nut that secures the torque stay to the rear brake backplate, PN 14-0305.
This is the nut that secures the torque stay to the brake plate at the rear wheel, part number 14-0305. The torque stay is what keeps the brake backplate from rotating with the drum when the rear brake is applied, so this small nut carries real load even though it's an easy part to overlook when you're doing a wheel rebuild.

It shows up across catalog listings tied to the rear wheel, swinging arm and suspension, and engine fittings and footrests sections, which tells you this is a general-purpose nut used in more than one spot rather than something unique to one bracket. Catalog appearances run from 1970 to 1974.
It's a 1/2 UNF nut. Given how cheap it is to keep a couple on hand and how easy they are to lose track of during a teardown, it's worth grabbing extras when you're already ordering rear wheel or torque stay hardware.
