Norton Washer — heat shield fixing (·255" × ·500" × ·048")
A small flat washer (.255" x .500" x .048") used as a heat shield fixing and elsewhere as general hardware.
This is a small flat washer, listed in the catalog with dimensions of .255" x .500" x .048", used as a heat shield fixing. It's a general-purpose hardware item that turns up across a wide range of figure sections in the parts books rather than being tied to one single job.

Given how many different assemblies list it — cylinder head and exhaust pipe work, crankcase, oil pump and gearbox sprocket area, footrest and brake linkage, frame, swinging arm and rear brake control, oil tank and toolbox, and electrical equipment — this washer looks to be a common fastener used wherever a fixing needed a washer of this size, not a part exclusive to the heat shield. The catalog description names heat shield fixing as one of its uses, so that's the specific job we can point to with confidence.
The manufacturer tag on this one says Norton, but nothing in the description or figure titles ties it to a Norton model by name — treat that tag with some skepticism. If you're matching this washer up to a specific fixing on your machine, it's worth checking the actual hole and fixing size against the .255" x .500" x .048" dimensions before ordering.
