Mystery piece

Post by johnairey »

Help needed to identify the mystery piece that fell out from under the dash of a Javelin.

Brass 2 1/2" Lg x 5/16" dia. One end slotted for a screw driver and knurled for about 1/2". The other end drilled 1/4" dia x 5/16" deep with a tapped hole in the bottom. Looks like like a clock or trip meter adjuster but both are present on the Javelin.

The length of the screw/nut is such that those of us with arthritic fingers can reach it!

Surprised that one has fallen out, lucky you found it.
