Norton Nut, kickstart spring anchor peg (¼" British Standard Cycle)
A ¼ inch British Standard Cycle nut used in multiple fastener locations across the bike, including the kickstart spring anchor peg.
This is a ¼ inch British Standard Cycle nut, the kind used in a bunch of spots across the bike rather than one single job. The catalog description ties it to the kickstart spring anchor peg, but it also turns up in fastener lists for the clutch and primary cover, cylinder head, gearchange mechanism, mudguards, and even the electrical equipment plate, which tells you it's a general-purpose small nut Norton used wherever a ¼ BSC stud or peg needed securing.

Because it shows up in so many different assemblies, don't assume this one nut is only for the kickstart spring peg on your bike - check which fastener you're actually replacing and match the thread by eye or with a thread gauge before ordering. The catalog data spans several years of appearances but doesn't tie the part to one specific model or year.
If you're chasing a small ¼ BSC nut off a parts diagram and it isn't obviously a bigger structural fastener, this is a good one to have in stock - Norton used a lot of these throughout the running gear and electrics.
