1040014/A Royal Enfield Clamp Plate – Fuel Pump | Thunderbird 500 BSIV | Genuine OEM

The 1040014/A Royal Enfield Clamp Plate – Fuel Pump is a genuine OEM retaining/clamp plate used to secure the fuel pump module assembly inside the fuel tank. If this plate is bent, fatigued, or incorrectly fitted after fuel-pump service, it can lead to improper seating of the pump module and unwanted movement/vibration—something you never want in a pressurized fuel system.

Unlike generic aftermarket plates (which may have inconsistent thickness, stamping accuracy, or fit), this is the exact-spec Royal Enfield part designed for correct alignment and secure mounting. It’s a smart replacement during fuel pump removal/refit jobs—especially if the original clamp plate shows corrosion, deformation, or damaged edges from previous installation attempts.

This listing is built to reduce returns: fitment is only declared where confirmed. For best results, match your exact model/variant and confirm by part number before ordering.

FAQs 

Q1) What does the 1040014/A clamp plate do?
It is the fuel pump clamp/retaining plate that helps hold the fuel pump module securely in position inside/at the tank mounting interface, maintaining correct seating and stability.

Q2) My bike is Classic 500 / Bullet 500 — will this fit?
This listing currently confirms fitment only for Thunderbird 500 BSIV. If you want it for another 500 UCE model, please verify your exact part number on the Royal Enfield parts portal/microfiche before ordering to avoid mismatch. 

Q3) Should I replace this when changing the fuel pump?
If the plate is bent, corroded, or previously over-tightened/marked, replacing it is recommended during fuel pump work to ensure correct seating and a secure mount.

Q4) Does this include the fuel pump, O-ring, or screws?
No—this part number is for the clamp plate only. Fuel pump module, sealing ring/O-ring, and fasteners (if applicable) are separate items unless explicitly mentioned in a kit.

Q5) How do I confirm 100% compatibility before buying?
Match part number 1040014/A against your motorcycle’s exact variant using an official parts lookup (VIN/variant-based), or share your chassis/VIN details with your mechanic for a parts-catalog confirmation.
