Had these for quite some time, one is original and the other is a fresh casting.
Thanks for your help, Don

W.A.G.

there was a u-bolt on it at one time. Was mounted as a pair either on the radius rod or like mine, more likely on the spindle steering arms, and was part of a center-returning stabilizer system. I had a '15 with a complete system on it and one of the parts looked similar.

It kept the car straight, was nice on the highway, but made it tough to steer in town, and would "boing" you back straight if you were not careful. Mine was a cool accessory best kept on display and not the car.

Somebody went to all the trouble to cast a duplicate one, and then didn't finish it for whatever reason.

Could they be to hold the front top bow to the windshield post? My Maxwell has this type.
