Name That Part

Post by paddy1998 » Sat Jun 05, 2021 8:51 pm

Cleaning up the garage today I came across this sitting in a pile of Model T flotsam on the workbench.

I can't remember if I took it off my Model T, something else, or if one of my pals is having some fun with me for keeping a messy workspace. :lol:

Any thoughts?

Eye glasses! The piece of metal helped for size reference.

Was thinking it started life as timer hold down, but now don't think so.
The big hole would be in the wrong place unless it was cut down.
Think it is scrap bucket stock now. ;)
I know the voices aren't real but damn they have some good ideas! :shock:

The smaller end is countersunk for a flat or oval head screw. I would suspect the large end bolted to something metal and the small end to wood. I am not familiar with all the various bodies over the years, but suspect it was for something mounted on the firewall.

That’s one of those ‘whatzit’ parts you see by the bucket full on trailers at swap meets! I’ve dug through plenty of those only to wonder what it is I’m looking at!

I think it’s a model A brake rod return spring that’s been cobbled up. Maybe an attempt to repair or possibly repurposed into something else.

Tim nailed it! Looks like a gusset was added perhaps to prevent it from bending or for a different application

Looks like a doo-jigger to me. Don't see many of those these days...
