'finish part' is the definition.
The answer and definition can be both man-made objects as well as being singular nouns.
Maybe you can see an association between them that I can't see?

'pint following bash' is the wordplay.
'pint' becomes 'head' (I am not sure about this - if you are sure you should believe this answer much more).
'following' means one lot of letters go next to another.
'bash' becomes 'hammer' (I've seen this before).
'head' after 'hammer' is 'HAMMERHEAD'.

'of' is the link.

Can you help me to learn more?

(Other definitions for hammerhead that I've seen before include "Distinctively shaped shark" , "Type of shark" , "Fish" , "Heavy hitter" , "marine predator" .)

I've seen this clue in the Sydney Morning Herald.
