Norton Banjo Bolt
A banjo bolt used in the oil pump and timing cover area of the engine, cataloged for 1971-1973.
This is a banjo bolt that shows up in the oil system side of the engine, in the group of figures covering the timing cover, contact breaker, oil pump, and oil pressure relief valve. Banjo bolts like this one are hollow-centered fasteners that let oil pass through the bolt itself while clamping a banjo-style fitting down to a hole in the case or cover, so oil can route from one part of the system to another without a separate hose union.

Our catalog record ties this one to appearances across 1971 to 1973, but it only turns up in two catalog rows, so we don't have a lot of extra detail to go on beyond the figure grouping. If you're chasing an oil leak or rebuilding the pump and relief valve area, this is worth checking against the fitting it's supposed to seal.
Give the shop a call with your engine details on hand so we can confirm this is the right banjo bolt before you order, especially since the catalog entry here is brief.
