Spring??

[Andy_mr2sc]

Hi all
Does anyone recognise this? I found it in my engine bay earlier and have no idea where it is from. I don't think its from the throttle bodies/linkages as they work correctly and the spindle spring is in place but I stand to be corrected!

Cheers,

Andy.

Any indication of size? Stick a 10p piece or a ruler with the photo.

Don't remember seeing that any where when I removed the engine and stripped every bit off it. So don't think its engine related.

Did you find it up by the rad?

Looks like some improvised cable/hose holder.

It was under the airbox on the chassis rail. I was a bit nervous as I'd just taken the throttle bodies off and wondered if it was to do with them. I should have her back up and running this afternoon so I guess if something doesn't work I'll know why!

Just for the record it's around 50mm from end to end as the crow flies.

I wondered where that went, it does not look like anything I have seen in an engine bay before, it looks like a spring of some sort, someone probably dropped it

I've seen something similar on my lawnmower...
Do you own a Griff?
Have you been using it to collect grass cuttings by any chance?

Looks kinda like a calliper spring.... But not, if you get me

[Andy_mr2sc]

Well she's back up and running and everything works so I have to assume it fell off a Grith and flicked under my bonnet at a show.

It's almost like the wire spring off a clothes peg.

Which bit on a tuscan?

[Tuscanuwe]

Not from a Tuscan i think, looks like a spring from a coupling pedal,
nearly same as from Renault Espace.

I'm glad I binned it then. Wouldn't want anything French near my British P&J!

[QBee]

I have seen similar on accelerator pedals on things like lawn mowers. But how it got to where it was found is a mystery to me

But he'll take your German advice Uwe

Without wanting to turn this into an inter racial debate looking at what cars come out of Germany compared to France I know who I'd rather listen too!!

What's a Grith ? It used be parked next to a Griff remember

[Andy_mr2sc]

That's it pick on my spelling...!
That's a good point Gary is yours missing a spring?
