Default What is this?

The other night, when driving home, I heard some metallic sound coming from the road. Like a piece of metal fell and drag on the pavement.

Since it's single lane dark mountain road, I didn't stop to take a look (/chance). But next morning, on the way to work, I noticed a metallic part at about the same location where I heard the sound, so I pulled over and picked it up.

Not sure it fell from my car or I just ran over it. Does it look familiar?

Small block starter brace Alex for $100.00 please.
It's a good thing you heard leave the car.
Time to check under the car and see if the starter is loose too.

Looks like it could be the bracket for the safety lock out cable by the steering column.
