On the end of one of the spindles, sticking out ahead of the axle is this thing. Anyone know what the heck it is?

I’m working on a 1926 Roadster I just got, and the guy gave me an extra axle assembly.

It is a speedometer drive mount. It treads onto the end of steering arm.

Re: What is this thing?
Think anyone would want it? I have no use for it and if someone else does they could have it.

Re: What is this thing?
It is useable for someone. Just list it in the classifieds. Use one of the vendors catalogs for a likely price, as some of them are reproduced. The one you have with the taper on the end takes a bracket arm which binds on the taper. The arm is held on with a bolt threaded on to the end. Another type sees a different arm clamped around the extended nut.

I have that exact part on my 1925. It's a Stewart part.

Re: What is this thing?
Andre's bracket is the alternative to yours. Note his has no threaded hole and taper on the end. His bracket clamps around the extended nut.
