BSA Spring washer, centre stand (17/32" × 7/8" × .040")
A spring washer (17/32 in. x 7/8 in. x .040 in.) fitted at the centre stand pivot.
This is a spring washer that sits at the centre stand pivot, sized 17/32 in. by 7/8 in. by .040 in. It's a small item, but it does a real job — keeping the stand's pivot tension right so the stand doesn't flop loose or bind up when you're putting the bike up or down.

The catalog places it in the centre stand figure, alongside the swinging arm and rear brake control drawings, which is right where you'd expect a stand pivot washer to turn up. Our record only shows it appearing once, tied to 1969, so we can't speak to broader fitment beyond that.
If you're rebuilding a centre stand assembly, it's worth having one of these on hand along with the pivot bolt and any other hardware from that same stack — cheap and easy to lose track of once the stand's apart.
