Today’s mystery object is?
As I approached my vehicle on Monday I noticed something resting behind the steering guard plate which I initially thought to be a stick.
On closer inspection I removed a strip of black neoprene rubber.
It measures 10mm x 12mm x 625 long.
I had recently (2 weeks ago) removed the top of the viscous fan blade housing to see if there was any debris inside but all was well.
I’m wondering if the rubber strip had come from there and become unattached and had dropped down.
I’ve had another look but cannot see where the rubber (if it had been attached initially) could have been located?
One of the ends is slightly pinched as though it had been clamped down and there is evidence of adhesive in places but not sticky now due to dust.
Any ideas anyone.......do you have a strip of rubber anywhere underneath your fan blade housing and if so where ?

Yup, I've found this hanging from the front of mine too. I've just pulled the thing out now. Presume it's not really needed.

I'm sure mine was underneath the rad. Are there supposed to ones top and bottom?

Ray.....would that be right at the front of the cover, tucked under a lip so when the fan cover is fitted it sits over the upright edge of the top of the front horizontal metalwork?
I did try it back in that location but it wasn’t exactly the same length so dismissed it.
I’d also cleaned the cover so any tell tale marks would have been wiped off.
The amazing thing is it must have been lying on the inside of the steering guard for a couple of weeks and not blown away!
Thank you for your input.
Glen

Ben, I never looked under the radiator as I never removed the bottom half so there may be one down below, who knows?
Somebody on here will know though Thumbs Up

It's all good, it didn't look too important. If you have one on the top though, I'm missing two of them! Laughing

That’s the one, it fits somewhere around there. Ray

Neoprene put back on with double sided sticky tape in the place mentioned. Whether that’s the correct location who knows, but it does appear to be the correct length for that place Wink
