BSA Fork oil seal washer
A fork oil seal washer (PN 47-5065) that seats with the seal in the front fork leg to help keep oil in.
This is a fork oil seal washer, PN 47-5065, listed under the FRONT FORK figures in the parts books. It sits down in the front fork assembly where it works alongside the oil seal to keep fork oil in and road grime out. When a fork gets a rebuild or reseal, this washer usually gets a fresh one fitted along with the new seal rather than reusing the old one.

The catalog shows this part appearing across a handful of entries between 1969 and 1970, and the manufacturer tag on this one points to BSA rather than Triumph. If you're pulling one of these out of a fork leg, check the shape and fit against what's already in there before you order, since the parts books group a lot of British bikes together in these fork listings.
It's a small, easy-to-overlook piece, but a worn or missing one can let a fork leg weep oil past the seal even if the seal itself is fine. Worth having on hand any time you're servicing the fork legs.
