BSA Bush, kickstart ratchet pinion
A bush for the kickstart ratchet pinion inside the gearbox, per the gear cluster and footstart parts-book figures.
This is a bush for the kickstart ratchet pinion, as it's listed in the parts book under the gear cluster and footstart/footchange figures. That tells us it lives inside the gearbox area, on the pinion the kickstart mechanism engages when you swing the lever down, and the bush is the wear surface that keeps that pinion running true on its shaft.

Our catalog record for 40-3272 doesn't name a specific model, and the manufacturer field on this one is not reliable enough to state as fact here. The part shows up across a handful of catalog entries from 1969 to 1970, but we're not going to guess which machine it bolts into beyond that. If you're chasing this down for a rebuild, give us a call with your gearbox casing number or model and we'll confirm fitment before you order.
There's not much more we can add on material or dimensions from what's in front of us. If you've got the old bush out and worn, having it in hand for comparison is the surest way to make sure 40-3272 is the right one.
We've never carried this one. Tell us what you're after and we'll go looking — you'll get a price and photos before you commit to anything.
