Some things are cooler than $$$
 
So last week I had a call from a Lamborghini dealer who needed a part for a 60 Roadster. It was a weird obscure part and not easy to get off so I passed him onto someone else. He called back and said no one had the part, but that he would drive up from NJ and pull it off himself, apparently the Roadster belonged to the owner of the dealership so it was very important. I figured I should step in and I pulled the part and sent it to him, no charge. How do you price a strange bracket anyway. Well, Karma came back today in the form of a box full of Lambo coolness. I would probably never go out and buy a Lambo coffee mug and I doubt Matt would pick up a Lambo shirt but we are both enjoying both. Somethings are cooler than money, Lambo swag is one of them.
Quiz question, what is the bracket?

It does involve steering but not in the column.

According to my much elder friend it's mounts the ____g _____r.

Let some more guesses roll in

manbridge 74 11-25-2016 08:15 PM

Actually that is the clamp that holds and properly locates the steering stabilizer.

Cant guess on the part but good story. I see you graduated from Georgia State. Good school.

pete3799 11-26-2016 06:33 AM

That obviously holds the muffler bearing.

Nice gloves, mine all have finger tip holes.
Have got that Champion Spark Plugs JD poster, but only one 356.
Good story.

Nice story. Good acts get repaid with kindness.

cool shirt, but I think the kids these days are only leaving the garment manufacture's sticker on the bill of a cap, not on a tee-shirt...:D

good story though, and it does prove the old "goes around comes around" saying as going both ways. good on you my man!

That's the headlight fluid reservoir bracket

Nice people are difficult to come by nowadays & this sort of stuff makes me like hoomans a tad more. Just a tad though :)

Hope you & your loved ones have a Merry Christmas and a safe time around the up & coming holidays !

Class act. That's great karma, beyond the free trinkets.
A greedier person would have tried to exploit the vulnerable position the other party was clearly in.
People don't forget stuff like that.

That's the bracket that holds the pimp juice reservoir bottle!

Don't kid about Pimp Juice, I once owned a magazine with a Don Magic Juan advice column in it, the king of Pimp Juice!http://forums.pelicanparts.com/uploa...1480206867.jpg
