Unknown part loose in engine bay
 

Tried on Renlist now to try here with all you gurus out there. Found a part floating around in engine bay while attempting fuel line exchange. Hopefully someone knows as last forum advice showed blitzed gearbox housing and image of similar part :rolleyes:http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1601944708.jpg

Is the part threaded or is the interior smooth?
What year car?

It almost looks like the spacer that goes under the throttle linkage in the 3.0 and 2.7 engines. I think those measurements are 37mm L, 13mm OD, 8mm ID.

Looks like the spacer for rear shock

Rear shock spacer in engine bay? That’s a nice idea however shocks I just removed were marked as originals from 1987 on my 88 Carrera. However I just found attached image of similar looking item, hopefully I’m not correct

I hope to god its not this item in picture

spacer for the two shocks that hold the rear engine lid up ?

Your picture is parts for a 356 or 912.

The spacers for the throttle plate are aluminum, and it is definitely not a wrist pin.
Of the suggestions so far i would think Icemans is the most plausable.
