There's only part no: 021230 'Nut - wide for centre bolt inside chaincase'. See page 32 of the spares list here:

It's quite normal to add a washer or two (by trial and error) after the wide nut to prevent the chaincase outer from crushing too far when the outer nut is tightened - especially if you have fitted the new (and wider) club seal.
