Identify this part please.

Hi All, 

When or if, but I am sure when someone identifies this I will say of course I knew what it was for, but sure as heck not now.

Thanks

To me it looks like a pivoting catch like in a soft top frame or bonnet.
But that is just a stab in the dark

[Pete Lewis]

looks like a extension lever for the handbrake lever on the back plate

Is it a bonnet stay pivot on Spitfire or GT6?

What is the size of the part? It may help.

I suspect it's quite small, and I think its the clip that holds the release rod from the interior door handle onto the lock mechanism inside a Mk4 Spitfire (or Mk3 GT6) door.

It's very solid-looking metal for that sort of application. It looks more to me like a hood frame pivot, where something opens at a joint but only so far. Can we see any other photos from any other angle, Steve?

Hi All,

Thanks for all the replies.

Having uploaded the images I seem to have lost the text so appologies if is repeated.

I should have said that iam restoring two 13 60 Heralds but had Dolomites so it could be a Dolomite part.

It is not obvious what it is so it will go in the bits unknown tin. 

Thanks 

Steve
