Is this a corvette part?

I ordered some stuff (brake parts). And got everything. The other day my daughter walked in with this, saying she found it near the boxes I recieved??

Any idea?







It's about 1" long

I've worked on a lot of brake systems of C2 and C3 Vettes and never saw anything like that. However, it does look like a bolt having something to do with a hydraulic system. Perhaps someone else can help.

It's been used--notice the seal mark under the head.

So, if it's used and not rusty, then it didn't come from a C3.

Looks like a banjo bolt with a checkvalve in it. I never seen one of them on a vette either

My guess is a pressure relief valve for engine oil pump or Power steering pump. Not a C3 brake part for sure.

I don't remember seeing that bolt in the parts i rebuild so it isn't the steeringpump. It looks like the brakefluid bolts they have on later c4 brakes but it isn't that either.. Good question!

Groeten Peter.

"parasitic oscillatory diaphraping rheostat for a flux capacitor"

Damn those BORG.

How will they look if they assimilated my 72. Think 7of9's chest will be replaced by an nice chrome bumper.
