This is the front petrol tank mounting bracket for the Triumph 500 unit twins, part number 82-6143, also found under the earlier F6143 designation. It shows up in the parts book under the PETROL TANK figure, which tells you exactly where it lives: this is the bracket that anchors the front of the tank down to the frame.

If the original bracket on your bike has been cut off, bent up, or gone missing entirely - which happens more than you'd think on bikes that have been through a few owners and a few seat/tank swaps - this is the piece that lets you bolt a stock-shaped tank back into place properly. Catalog data ties this one to the 500 twins in the mid-1960s.
We don't have a lot more written down on this particular listing beyond the one catalog entry, so if you're not sure this is the right bracket for your tank and frame combination, give us a call before you order and we'll help confirm fitment.
