BSA Connecting rod complete, less big-end shell, right-hand
Right-hand connecting rod (less big-end shell) for the crankshaft assembly, PN 68-0053.
This is a connecting rod for the crankshaft assembly, listed as complete but supplied less the big-end shell, and marked right-hand. It shows up in the CRANKSHAFT figure of the parts book, which is where you'd expect it since the rod is what ties the piston to the crank and transmits the combustion load down into the bottom end.

The catalog only shows this one appearing for the 1969 model year, and the record doesn't tie it to a specific model beyond that, so don't assume it drops into any bottom end you've got on the bench. Check it against your crank and case before ordering.
Because it's noted as right-hand and sold less the big-end shell, plan on sourcing the shell separately and confirming you're matching it with the correct left-hand counterpart if your engine needs a pair. Give us a call if you want to talk through fitment before you commit to buying.
