Default Help identifying a bracket (79 Corvette)

Hi all,

Does anyone happen to know where this bracket belong (79)?





There's no casting on it and I labeled just about any part and screw I removed from the car but can't seem to find one for it. I reckon it belongs somewhere in the engine compartment.

My windshield washer reservoir is loose but I believe that's attached only by a couple screws so not really sure where this belongs. A search for visually similar images yielded no results

Thanks for your help as always!
Antonio

That bracket goes on the firewall below the steering column. The steering column fits within the circular cutout and the tab juts out into the engine bay. Looks like you are missing one of the carriage bolts. The nuts would go on the interior side.

Doh. I labeled the carriage bolt and I did loosen the steering column to decouple the rag joint - seem to have missed labelling the part

Thank you!
