Name this bracket

I had an 85 GSL and found this bracket today. Does anyone know where it went?
hopefully someone needs it.






thanks

Maybe the rear tow hook bracket?

I don't think it is the tow bracket. Its hard to tell without a size reference, but my guess is the part that the oil cooler bracket bolts to.

From here, it looks like about 15lbs of dead weight.

Need a scale reference - but if that's a pair of Levi's it's sitting on, it's not for an oil cooler - wrong mounting holes.

Whatever it is it's not originally from an 85 GSL. It must have accidentally ended up in the car.

thanks for the input guys.

I realized after some photo searching that this is in fact from a project I had. 1991 Isuzu Impulse RS AWD Turbo.

Its an exhaust bracket that goes on the frontside of the block to support the turbo downpipe.

Sorry about the randomness. Carry on with all things rotary.
