My first 4002 came with one of these gizmos, anybody know what it's for?
The second 4002 came without it.
I'm guessing it's to reinforce the non-gear side of the motor but it doesn't fit a Parma motor at all.

It should fit a motor bearing to support the bell end. The centrifugal forces from crashing and turning corners can overload the pinion end bearings.
