Maybe something to do with the assembly process. Doesn’t make any sense. Not durable at all. Almost a shield to protect. 

I was serious.  The exhaust pipe hides the other big bolt head.

I don’t know about that but anything is possible I guess. I didn’t think undercarriage aesthetics was really all that important in the 70’s. And why does it have rivets on the corners where there seems to have a plastic cover on the plate. It’s weird! My plastic is mostly gone.

And to answer your previous questions lit the top diff mount. You are correct. I was mistaking the solid all metal part mount they sell at at MSA and zcardepot. The MSA says you will get noise from is. I mixed my facts.

Thought I should clear something up re Vintage Dashes.  They have a website Vintagedashes.com that for some reason didn’t turn up for me when I Google searched.  I was led down a rabbit hole to an instagram site and all the problems w contact. Would have been straight forward had I been led to the .com. 

Possibly a sound dampener? Maybe the disintegrated component was for sound absorption?

There is one on my orange car and one on the black pearl in my garage as well.

Got one on my 78

I will wager one of Cliff's beers that ...  @240260280 knows.

I'll wager my 240 that he'll know.

Whoa! He could say he doesn't and get my car? Not Phillip, he's too good a guy and I miss him.

Off topic here…squirrel!  
I was in St. Louis for work this week and went for a couple walks downtown while I was there and saw this and took a pic.   I can’t believe this person parked their car here or the lift driver parked the lift here.    This is a 55k or more Supra.  
 

I go with the esthetically of it.

We drop our baskets when not in use. That's a weird situation there. Nobody's in the basket, nobodies on the ground either. Strange but cool pics Ferg.

Looks like a glass truck behind it?
