Default mysterious bracket

1969 corvette L46

Can someone tell me where this bracket goes on my car? I'm at a loss.

Thanks for your help.

I dont recall seeing that. Is it metal or plastic. from the 2 tabs/ears at the top it looks like a metal bracket that would fit into a slot someplace.

Hi B,
I believe it's the small shield for the back-up lamp switch.
Mounts on the side of the transmission.
Regards,
Alan

It was originally cad or zinc plated.

I second this. Alan has helped me out with his pictures, technical explanations and advice numerous times. They aren't even my threads, but when I read his input to the OP I'm that much wiser.

Thanks Alan 71.
