No clue, looks homemade.

Could it have been used as a shim for the rear trailing arm?

The holes are from two spotwelds I drilled out, its not very big, about 40x10 mm's.
I just cant for the life of me remember where it was on the body.

Slotted brace for the engine lid??

Looks like the center brace for the rear bumper rubber.

Appears to be similar to something a DAPO put on mine to hold the engine lid hinge support bracket into position.

I damned near blew mine off with a hand grenade the 5th time I wounded myself on it. I finally taped some insulation around it. blowup.gif

Funny thing, I just taped mine up after hooking myself on it a bunch of times going around the back of the car.

Anyone with the rear bumper off their car that can measure how far it sticks out from the body?

Posted by: jacksun Jul 31 2014, 05:32 AM
