Name that part!
« on: December 28, 2012, 06:36:59 pm »
Pint to whoever can tell me what this is and where it goes!




It's probably an interior part, and likely to be part of the dashboard; heater blower unit or steering column assembly.

Found it in a bag of bits from the bodyshop, and I've no idea where it goes! Sadly there's no part number on it so I can't look it up on ETOS/ETKA etc - so I assume it's part of a larger assembly.

No idea! But knowing that bodyshop, it's probably off a Ford that was also having a restoration at the time ;)

Is it some kind of knuckle duster?

Was obvious once I pulled the column apart.

Fits here:

And another shot showing it sticking out the end of the upper section of the column:
