Does Anybody Recognise This?

This item appeared in my driver footwell the other day, underneath the parking brake. Does anybody know what it is?

I have had a good look up where it appeared from but I can't see anything obvious. The car hasn't fallen to bits and still drives and feels the same.

It may be the ejector seat retaining clip ....

Thank you-if so it will become apparent!

I checked under my dash & can't find that bracket (mines a 400 so it may be different) but looking at the nylon lugs makes me think it is possibly designed to break (on impact) ...

am I right in saying It has wear marks on the bracket edges ? ... makes me think it came off the electric steering wheel, something like a wiring retainer at a guess ? ... If everythings working ok I wouldn't get worried buddy.

A wiring loom bracket???

I think you are probably right, something to hold some wires in place and not the end of the world. Thank you for the reassurance.

I've got one of them as well....found mine about 2 years ago...drivers footwell.....it holds the water pipes that go into the heater assembly, very hidden away.....mines been fine and no doubt your will also.

The nylon must harden and become brittle after years of hot and cold expansion no doubt.

safety in numbers then, that will do for me. Where do you keep your by the way? Mine is taking up space in the kitchen, where it will stay until she who must be obeyed demands an explanation.
