Something about it reminds me of the wiper assembly. Not sure what though. Good luck anyway.

Edit: nvm, there'd be no reason for having 2 of them if it was the wiper assy

For some reason I picture that part bolting to the fender towards the bottom and the hooking to the bumper cover possibly or the body. The later FBs had a part like that only it was in the shape of an "A" sort of.

I don't recall ever seeing that part anywhere on my SA. Could use a couple different views of it, though.

You sure it's an 80? That air cleaner lid is not from an SA.

Ah, ok.

Can you take pix of it from a couple more angles? It's hard to really make out the shape from just that one shot.
