GROMMET/SIDE COVER & COIL
Rubber mounting grommet for the ignition coil and side cover bracket on Triumph twins.
This is the small rubber grommet Triumph used where the side cover and the ignition coil mounting come together. It shows up across catalog listings tied to panels and twinseat fitment as well as the coil, horn, rectifier and zener diode figures, and also the timing cover and contact breaker area, which tells you this little piece of rubber does double duty wherever a coil or side panel needs a cushioned mounting point rather than metal-on-metal contact.

Older parts books list this one under F5466 before the numbering changed over to 82-5466, so if you're working from an older book and see that F-prefix number, it's the same physical grommet. The catalog entries for this part run from the mid-60s into the late 60s, which lines up with the era of twin-cylinder bikes using this coil and side cover arrangement.
It's a cheap thing to overlook, but a perished or missing grommet lets the coil or side panel rattle or sit unevenly, so if yours has gone hard and cracked with age, it's worth swapping in a fresh one. Check your bike against the parts book listing before ordering since side cover and coil mounting hardware varied some across model years.
