RUBBER PLUG SIDE PANEL
Rubber blanking plug for the Triumph side panel, fills an access hole on the panel trim.
This is a rubber blanking plug that fits into the side panel on Triumph twins, filling the mounting or access hole so nothing rattles around or lets water and grit through. It's a small part, but it's one of those trim pieces that looks wrong the moment it's missing or perished.

The catalog shows this one under 60-4152, with an older factory number of 60-2594 for the same physical plug — so if your parts book still shows the earlier number, you're looking at the identical item. It shows up in the gas tank and twinseat figures as well as the air cleaner and side panel figure, so it's tied into the general bodywork and trim assembly rather than anything mechanical.
Rubber perishes over the decades, and a lot of these show up cracked, shrunk, or missing outright on bikes that have been sitting. If yours is gone or crumbling, this is a straightforward swap — no tools drama, just press it back into place.
