What the hell is this?
Putting my car back together and this was in the alternator parts bag. For the life of me I can't remember where this goes!
HELP!

Got some more pictures of it? Really it doesn't look like an FD part, may have gone in the bag on accident.

Yeah, that doesn't look like anything I've seen on an FD. I think it it just a random part from some other car.
