bolts on a strut to hold a brake line or speed sensor. Parts term would just be “Bracket”

idk, i’m hella sleepy today. Sorry if my replies to OPPO/LaLD post seem slurred.

COuld also be a piece for a door check/hinge because of the bumps. Not a tradition modern style check though. On a green car obvs

I’m confused. It looks like the catch for the gas pump in the top picture, but people are guessing car parts and other hardware. :/

Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo > Die-Trying
11/22/2016 at 19:34

And he SCORES! Couldn’t have told you what it was called, though.

This was on a pump nozzle near my house. Thing’s supposed to be spring-loaded so that it pops out of the way. When it’s not spring-loaded, it just stays there and could very likely lead to a spill. I reported it to the station manager, and to the Clean Air Board and two weeks later, still broken. So I removed it myself and brought it home.

SCORE! Supposed to be spring-loaded, to take it out of the way when disengaged. The spring was broken. After reporting it to the station owner and to the Clean Air Board, two weeks later, still in service, so I removed it myself to avoid a gasoline spill.

Rusty Vandura - www.tinyurl.com/keepoppo > Dave the car guy , still here
11/22/2016 at 19:37

Exactly, but it has a much more elegant name. I removed it from a local gas station’s nozzle so that there wouldn’t be a spill accident. Thing’s supposed to be spring-loaded and the spring was broken. The spring is necessary to get the dingle out of the way when it’s not needed.

people give you real dirty looks when you stop THEIR pump. “you were puddling”.......

how have you been doing?.......

I’m well, thanks. My (pretend) daughter got a flat Sunday night in her Integra. She hit a cut the sidewall. So I took her to her car on Monday morning and we took the rim and got a used tire. She had no spare, so I tracked her one down. I found a donut spare, and all ended well, but darned if the entire project didn’t take about six hours.

Driving up to Portland tomorrow to visit my wife’s sister’s family. And eat and hopefully have one or two really good laughs.

You?

The truth lies somewhere in the middle. The blue nozzle is obsolete, but it has the same concept. The nozzle from which I removed the trigger catch had it mounted differently.
