Fellas -

Ok, so I bought a bunch of 69 AMX parts and some mystery parts came in the haul. I think there may be a flux capacitor, some muffler bearings, and a radiator cap for a 69 VW Bug, but the rest of it I'm not sure about. Anyone care to guess?

Ok, so here we have the first three items; not car parts, but maybe one car tool? First one is a cylindrical chunk of metal - maybe brass? Looks like someone was cutting stuff off the ends. Then a solid block of iron; guess that's not a real mystery, but not sure what you would do with this. The next one - maybe to stop a piston at TDC?





Ok, I feel like I should know what this is, but drawing a blank. Certainly does not look like any car part that I'm familiar with.





Some sort of mystery bracket; doesn't look like a car part to me.



Thanks

Scott

The yellow thing to the right is a tape measure. Excellent tool for helping to get cut parts too short for what you need.

None are "car parts"
Like mentioned some might have been used for assembly set-up.
3rd and 4th picture looks like a seal or bushing installation and removal tool.

The long yellow thingy with numbers on it, is most definately used to help cut things off too short. That's what I use it for anyway.


I have mechanical Aptitude.
I can screw up anything.
