It looks like a shim washer used to fit the rear fascia properly and make it align to the rear quarter panel. You likely found it on the right or left rear of the car, start by looking on that side and you will likely find the fascia is not as well aligned as it once was, and is indented a bit compared to the quarter panel. -----Original Message----- From: dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:dmcnews@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Ed B.

This part - a u-shaped washer/spacer- "fell off" my car from somewhere, while we removing the stock exhaust; we figure the vibrations involved during the removal caused it to come off somewhere. Anybody know what this is and where it should go? pic here: http://home.ca.inter.net/~mr.pants/pix/car%20suff/DMC%20Mystery%20Part.j pg Thanks, - ed -- 1982 DMC-12 [11594] 1986.5 928S 1990 Coupe Quattro 20V To address comments privately to the moderating team, please address: moderators@xxxxxxxxxxx For more info on the list, tech articles, cars for sale see www.dmcnews.com To search the archives or view files, log in at http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dmcnews Yahoo!
