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?
Hi Blink, I will PM you Terry Shaw's details (TS Autos) as he knows the answer��.

All the best, Nicholas/Zircon
