Top spring abutment
Top spring abutment for Amal carburetors, seats the throttle slide return spring under the carb cap.
This is the top spring abutment, part number 60-1959, listed under the Amal carburetor figures in the parts books. It's the small cap-like piece that sits over the throttle slide return spring inside the carburetor body, giving the spring a proper seat to push against so the slide returns smoothly when you let off the throttle.

The legacy number for this one is D1959, so if you're working from an older parts book or a bin of loose Amal bits, that's the number you might see stamped or listed instead. It shows up across a run of catalog entries from 1969 through 1974, so it's a part that stuck around through several seasons of Amal carb production.
If you're rebuilding a carb top and the slide isn't snapping back cleanly, a worn or missing abutment is worth checking. Bring in the carb or the old part if you're not sure it's the same one — Amal used a handful of similar small parts in this area and it helps to compare in hand.
