ID Part please?
Hi guys.
This came with my 74 convertible. I saw one in a heap of parts a guy was selling on the forum, but there was no description of it. Can someone please ID it for me?
Cheers

It's one of the brackets that goes on the encabulator. Watch this video, and it'll all make sense..........

LOL!!! I thought you'd get a kick out of that!
Seriously, though, I have no idea what that part is, sorry, man.

Scotty, always enjoy your posts!

I see a part number stamped into it but it's hard to read accurately. Can you read and post that stamped number?

Google the part number. I do not recognize the part and it may not be Corvette.

I the car has AC, I'm thinking that might be the part they added to keep the AC belt from digging into the lower radiator hose.
If that's it, and you don't want it, I'll buy it from you - I was looking into fabricating something to do the same thing.

Mike, sometimes it takes a genius to see the obvious! Ran the number, 6271051, and I found that it's an A/C bracket as a few people pointed out.

Here's one on eBay. (not mine)
And this one...a bit more useful.

No use to me, so it's there if anyone needs it.
Thanks for all your help!
