Norton Circlip, Caliper Plate to Bolt
A circlip that retains the caliper plate on its mounting bolt, per the 1975 parts-book listing.
This is a circlip listed in the catalog as securing a caliper plate to its bolt, appearing in the parts book among the swinging arm, suspension units, and chainguard figures. That places it in the rear suspension/brake caliper mounting area of the machine rather than the primary drive as the internal category tag suggests.

Circlips like this one are small retaining rings that snap into a groove to hold a component axially in place - in this case keeping the caliper plate located on its mounting bolt. It's a simple piece of hardware, but if it's missing or sprung out of shape it can let the caliper mounting shift, so it's worth checking before you button things back up.
Our catalog record only shows this one appearance, dated to 1975, and doesn't tie it to a specific model. If you're working on a 1975-era machine and need to confirm this is the right circlip for your caliper plate assembly, give us a call and we'll sort out fitment before you order.
