BSA "Oddie" stud (short)
A short-length "Oddie" stud used for mounting sidecovers, oil tank, and related trim pieces.
This is the short version of the fastener the parts books call an "Oddie" stud, showing up in the oil tank, sidecover, and silencer area as well as the sidecovers and air cleaner listings. It's a small mounting stud used to secure trim and cover pieces rather than anything structural in the motor.

The catalog puts it in appearances spanning 1969 to 1970, and it turns up across several different figure groupings, which tells us it's a fastener style used in more than one spot on the bike rather than a single dedicated bracket bolt.
We don't have more detail on this one beyond what the description and figures show. If you're matching up a stud for a sidecover or oil tank mount, bring in the old one or check against your parts book before ordering, since "short" only makes sense next to whatever the long version looks like.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
