Screw ("Taptite") – cable fastener
A Taptite self-threading screw used as a cable fastener, shown in the gearbox/selector/starting mechanism section of the parts book.
This is a Taptite screw, listed in the catalog as a cable fastener. Taptite screws thread into a pre-formed hole and roll their own mating threads as they go, which is a common trick for small fasteners on Triumph engines and gearboxes to save cutting a separate internal thread.

The catalog places this one in the gears, shafts, selectors, and starting mechanism section, with a single appearance tied to 1973. That's not much to go on beyond the part itself, so if you're chasing a specific fastener on your gearbox internals or kickstart mechanism, have the part in hand or your parts book open to confirm you've got the right one.
Given how little detail comes through in our records for this one, call the shop if you want us to double check fitment before you order.
