Does anyone recognise this thing (arrowed)?
It's a small metal rod, about 6-8" long, with a short bend at one end and a loop for a screw/bolt at the other. The bend end goes into a hole in something and the screw/bolt stops it falling out again. The rod actually looks more like this (sort of
).
The reason I'm asking is I remember taking it off the car (but I can't remember where from) and now I can't find it. So I don't know what it's called, I don't know what it does, I don't know where it came from and I don't know where it is now.
The 1st pic above is from the diagram on
this page but the photo that goes with #8 is the wrong photo - that's actually the cable bracket that bolts to the gearbox/diff (i.e. #8 on
this page).
Are you confused yet?
So the question is: what the heck is rod No7 (or is it 8)? And what have I done with it?
