Spare part

Post by sausage_doc »

Hi lads
Was cleaning out the garage and came across a engine I stripped down a few years ago that I forgot about. All the parts are there to rebuild the engine but I have a part I'm not sure what it is for. Can any one tell me what it is r what it does. Thanks for the replys.

I think its the clamp that locks the distributor in place? Could be wrong though!

It's 2 1/2 inches. And about 1 1/4 wide. It's not for lockin the distributor I thought that myself.

I think there should be a guess the part thread. Keep it mini related and try to test and outfox each other with the minutiae of the deepest bowels and hidden corners. What do you think?

We run a parts ID competition at the Camping Weekend each year, always popular. You wouldn't want to be "educating" the competition on all the obscure parts now would you :wink: :roll:
