Bottom tank bracket
Lower mounting bracket that secures the bottom of the oil tank to the frame.
This is the lower mounting bracket for the oil tank, listed in the parts books under both petrol and oil tank figures. It's the piece that anchors the bottom of the tank to the frame, taking some of the vibration and load off the rubber mounts and top strap so the tank doesn't work itself loose over time.

The catalog carries it under 82-5378, with F5378 as the older-style number for the same bracket. Our records tie it to 1964 and 1965 appearances, so if you're working outside that span, check it against what's on your bike before ordering.
It's a small stamped or formed piece rather than anything glamorous, but a cracked or missing bottom bracket is a common reason for an oil tank that rattles or sits crooked. Worth a look if your tank feels like it's got play in it at the bottom.
