Greetings,
It's a lifting eye for removing a stubborn valve cover. More commonly used
as a "bonking" tab though. ( just give it a whack with a hammer)
Yeah......that's what it is ;0)
I think, on the Renown, that tab was used to help support the air cleaner
assembly. In at least one case it was used as a support point for the
water temp gauge capillary tube. (Page 44 of Piggott's Original Triumph TR
Restorer's Guide) That was an Italia, though.
