the washer bottle has a black outflow on top unlike the standard white ones.
I have seen this same bottle in the owners manual.  |

ok, i checked the mystery bracket against the prototype pictures.
unfortunately, there's noting even remotely similar. the prototype does not have the usual metal subframe for the dash. the dash is in fact held in place by a few handwelded supporting rods ... (IMG:style_emoticons/default/smile.gif) Andy |

the mystery bracket sure looks like it could be for a parking brake, trunk release or a hand throttle. It could even be for the fuel filler lid release that 914006 has.
