What's This For (part two)

Post by Mick F »

Friend of ours has found this in the house and hasn't got a clue what it's for or how long he's had it.
Looks like a key of course, but what for?
Keys about two inches long.

Anyone recognise it?

Off out cycling shortly, and may not get back to this until late this afternoon, so carry on discussing it whilst I'm away! :D

They remind me of a car radio insertion/removal tool. :wink:
At the last count:- Peugeot 531 pro, Dawes Discovery Tandem, Dawes Kingpin X3, Raleigh 20 stowaway, 1965 Moulton deluxe, Falcon K2 MTB dropped bar tourer, Rudge Bi frame folder, Longstaff trike conversion on a Giant XTC 840 :D

Thanks guys!
I knew someone would know! :D

Made of alu.
I suppose the screws etc are for the mounting to the rear of the radio.

I'll let him know when I see him next and put him out of his misery trying to think what they were! :lol:
