Well, at least I think it is a car part. It is photographed by the present owner of a Triumph Roadster (1948). The car has been taken apart and there are many boxes of parts. This part I cannot place - what would be its function?

Tomorrow evening I probably know more as I will have a look at the car in the afternoon. The story is that the current owner got the car when he was 18, in the mid sixties, then after a few months took it apart to "improve it" .... and it stood ever since. It looks very promising, and a lot of work to put it bring it back together again. Then chase worldwide for missing parts, probably.

Could well be!
Electrics for the stop lamps. But why the rubber bushed eye?

You are either part of the problem or part of the solution
