Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #1 – July 11, 2021, 07:17:28 PM It’s one of those classic ‘left over’ parts. You’ve put the whole car back together but still have these and can’t for the life of you remember where from.They’re familiar, but I can’t place them right now lol

Re: Test your knowledge! Reply #7 – July 12, 2021, 12:00:12 PM Yep, that's them... well done!Cheated a little and didn't include the nuts in the piccy, they're in the rust bath at the minute.Saying as you've obviously looked at these, did you notice the nut is squeezed, making the threaded hole a slight oval?Presumably intentional as mine fit back into the brackets a certain way because of it, a form of locking maybe?Can't have been intended as permanent thing, shocks have the potential to be replaced.'7Zap' doesn't show the brackets, just the nuts... wonder are they meant to be replaced / one use because of the initial (factory) squeezing?

The blue one I took apart was all original and never touched so they would have still been on there. I have a feeling it was around the rear end somewhere.
