I posted this query to the 6-pack forum but no clear answers yet. While unpacking the hardware for the trunk (boot), I came across a part that I cannot figure out where it goes. It is a thick shim o

Looks like a drum brake wheel cylinder shim ... except those are more rectangular than square ... -- "Thinking is the hardest work there is. That's why so few people undertake it." - Henry Ford Bill

That is a retaining clip. It is used to hold something round in place, which is inserted through a hole, and the clip fits in a pair of grooves to hold it against the sheet metal. I might make a wil

I do not think so. This appears to be formed to hold something under tension. I would guess it is a retaining clip. The shape of the opening hints that it is used to hold something round in place. T

Ed, how well would it work as a spring clip if it were 1/8" thick, as Bob says? Most spring retainer clips of the type you describe that I've seen are nominally around 1/32" thick, and typically have

It was just a guess. From the information given, it was stated to be "ABOUT 1/8 inch ", so I safely assumed within the given parameters that it could be much thinner. I did not go for the spacer opt

Thanks everyone for taking a look. But it is not a suspension or brake shim. Much too thick. Those shims are very thin. I am sure it is a distance piece of sorts but for the life of me I cannot figur

When I saw this post yesterday I went out and looked through my trunk and found nothing that looked like this piece. The trunk stay does however have two funky looking washers. You can see them in th

Thanks again for all the replies and boot inspections. This is the 2nd part that I was not able to identify. The first were 2 spacer washers about the same thickness. Not sure if the PO removed them

Could it be a clip that holds the switch for the trunk light in place? John Shewmake '74 TR6 Birmingham, AL hanks everyone for taking a look. But it is not a suspension or brake shim. uch too thick.

Bob--It may not even be a piece from the TR. (Looks more like a clamp used on a machine bed to secure a part during a machining process). Dick _______________________________________________ 6pack@au
