Do you know your car parts and what car they are too?

Here are two photos of the front suspension of a car.
Can you identify the car from the photos.
Right side from the front.

Boy you folks are good.

Interesting how well that front suspension works.

Here is a photo of the car that I was looking at.

OK. Here are a couple of photos of a part that someone might know.
These are not that common even in new cars.

Early model cup holder?

...or, I'm not sure what it's called, but it's a 1920's aftermarket accessory mounted over a hole in the foot well floor, directly ahead of the driver’s seat, that renders human pit stops unnecessary…

Good guess but not correct....

....

This was something that a lot of drivers used back when this was new.

It also looks like a housing for the plug for trailer electrics.

Trouble light for pre-war MG. My father-in-law bought one just like that for his 1934 MG PA.

Wiper motor? No wait, two motor mounts.

malcolmr18zoy · Post by **malcolmr18zoy** » Sun Mar 31, 2013 8:44 am

Definitely looks like two mounts of some sort, but I can't identify what they're for.

Lotus Europa Trans Mount maybe?

Good one Dean.

HealeyBN7 · Post by **HealeyBN7** » Sun Mar 31, 2013 10:09 pm

Martin. I am impressed. Indeed that is the rear trans mount. Lotus used that mount on all the Renault engined cars. It is an odd double headed monster that slides into a bracket. It is one single mount - not two side by side.

You can see that it is torn. New mounts are available for $180.00. I hate to be a cheapskate, but for that much money it should have a touch screen and at least two moving parts. Might need to fabricate a replacement with removable bushings.

Who's next?

Dean. Call me as I have a rubber mount rebuilder that is reasonable.
Cheers, Dave

Dave, can he do TC gearbox mounts? They are over $100 for a pair new, and most of it is metal so it would be nice to re-use.

That looks like a 1951 Lucas smoke installer.
