    Rare part ?

    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.

    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?

    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
