That's great! Well done

Can anyone help identify these parts? I believe the plastic donut goes in the back of the cigar lighter, but I have no idea what this spring came out of. It might not even be a car part, but I found it in my box of dashboard parts.

I believe the plastic piece is a spacer that goes behind the fan switch in the center dash panel.  I don't recognize the spring.

I'm thinking the spacer could be for the hazard switch on the back side of the dash. I don't recall seeing that spring before.

The spring looks like it came out of some garden hand clippers, I have some clippers with springs like that, it pushes them open.

Those donuts in plastic are also found under the seats.. but i only have seen them in black (on the bolts).

You’re right. I was able to find a photo that confirmed it.

That’s it! It’s for my spring clip pliers.

Thanks to both of you.
