Distance tube
A distance tube (spacer) used in the stator and tail/stop lamp switch assembly area, Triumph part 82-6438.
This is a distance tube, Triumph part number 82-6438, also known under the earlier F6438 designation. It's a simple spacer-type tube that shows up in the catalog alongside the stator, tail lamp, and stop lamp switch listings, so it's tied to the electrical side of the bike rather than anything in the engine or gearbox.

A distance tube like this does one job: it holds two components apart at a fixed spacing while a bolt or screw passes through the middle, keeping things from crushing together when the fastener is tightened down. Given the figure it appears in, this one is likely doing that job somewhere around the stator mounting or the tail/stop lamp switch assembly.
Our catalog record for this one is thin — just the single listing tied to 1964. If you're trying to match it up to your bike, give us a call and we'll help confirm it's the right tube before you order.
