BSA Rubber buffer — petrol tank mounting
Rubber buffer for petrol tank mounting, cushioning the tank against the frame.
This is a rubber buffer that sits in the petrol tank mounting, cushioning the tank where it meets the frame. Its job is to stop metal-to-metal contact between tank and frame rail, taking up vibration and knock so the tank doesn't chafe or crack its mounting points over time.

Our catalog record shows this part appearing under fuel tank/petrol tank control figures, with catalog dates running 1971 to 1972. Beyond that, we don't have more detail on it in our own records — no material or size spec came through in what we have on file.
Rubber tank buffers are a small item but worth checking closely against your own tank mounts before ordering, since perishing rubber is often what sends folks looking for this part in the first place. Call the shop if you want us to confirm fitment before you order.
