Rare part ?

[andybond]

Hello all.

Last month a renault dealer I know about closed. Not due to financial reasons, but the two old boys had sold up shop.

Decent chaps and donated lots of stuff to me that I have distributed around the 21toc.

One thing though that I havent parted from was the following

I believe it is a device that helps align front lights if the 5 has been in a light front end prang. Dealer only part that Renault dealers were forced to buy.

Anyone confirm / deny / know any more about it ?

and was used like this. from reading the book it allowed for more than just a bit of light damage it was from a time when every panel could be baught and replaced.

Must be a rare part then ?

i have been given the renault manuals for the 5 including the bodywork one. its amazing as it give all the info for jigging welding points even down to how the metal work is folded and joined.

**** me could of done with that at the start of the raider front end rebuild, rather then eyeing it up!

Rare yes, useless to most people yes..

There is one chap who might have a use and he is Sam fish, he picked up the battered cup car and that about the only time I see this used, most times the car will be binned..

Rare doesnt mean it has to have a use.

Eg a faberge egg.

Surely, if given the correct measurements, it wouldn't be too hard to replicate this?

Think of the intercooler you could bolt onto that :smokin:

would be a nice item for the club to own so that people could use it as needed but the logistics of getting it to and from people would probably be a pain in the rear, someone like mike may have use for it though :crap:

I defo have a use for it I've got to put a new headlight panel in my 5 at some point
