Seat catch plunger
The spring-loaded plunger inside the seat latch that holds the twinseat down and releases it when the catch is worked.
This is the seat catch plunger, part number 82-4226, listed in the panels and twinseat section of the parts book. It's the small spring-loaded piece inside the seat latch mechanism that pushes out to hold the seat down and lets it pop free when you work the catch. The older parts book form of this number is F4226, so if you're cross-checking against an early catalog, that's the same physical piece.

Our records show this one appearing across catalog entries from 1960 through 1966, which tells you it had a run of years in the lineup rather than being a one-off part for a single model. Beyond that, we don't have more detail on it in our records — it's a small hardware item, so there's not much more to say about it.
If your seat won't latch down solidly or pops open on its own, a worn or sticking plunger is a common enough culprit to check before you start pulling the whole catch mechanism apart. Bring in the old one if you can so we can confirm it's the same catch style.
