Dorsai Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Jim is right. Someone else posted a pic of that thing recently and asked what it is. And someone said it is a support for a connector. I was thinking it is C305 but I'm not finding anything about it. I'll keep looking ... I appreciate the effort, but don’t kill yourselves trying to find that post. I may start a new thread tomorrow for it in hopes of getting additional eyes on the problem. Also, I have a vague idea of the original orientation of the piece, so I can try to reposition it and see if there are any likely connectors in the vicinity. The piece fell free as soon as I took the nut off, so it may not even have been attached to anything. If so, it may not be worth worrying about. Regardless, thanks for checking!

BigBrother-84 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 A picture would be awesome if you have it - there is absolutely zero room up there, and I can only see anything if I lay on the floor with my legs hanging out of the truck, and use a little mechanic's mirror to get an angle on the switch. Still better than dropping that column, though. Maybe this bracket? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Dorsai Posted June 17, 2022 Author Share Posted June 17, 2022 Maybe this bracket? That sure looks like it! And it seems to be by C305A, so Gary’s memory is pretty good. That should be everything I need to put things where they belong - thanks guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'd like to add info to the documentation this round, and can cross-ref the ID # that is on it to the part number. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigBrother-84 Posted June 17, 2022 Share Posted June 17, 2022 Maybe I'm not as crazy as I thought. If so, Gary I can tell you that’s also the case for a lot of us, continuously scratching our head to retrieve something! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Alas, no...that would have made the original search for its purpose easier. It's just a bare, stamped bit of metal. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
