Anyone recognize these?
« on: August 18, 2022, 15:14:02 »
These were in the glovebox when I bought my car 20 years ago.  I stored them during the restoration and today I was going through the glovebox content and realized I still didn’t know if they belonged to the car?

Me neither. Depending on their size, they look a little bit like those vacuum port caps.

Depending on the diameter they could have been used to temporarily cap off ports on IP, or ends fuel lines, brake lines, etc.

Without a reference for size it's difficult to know but they llok like shock absorber top covers from a 108.

Stickandrudderman,  they are big enough to fit the shock nuts.
