Subject: Re: What is this part?
Hi Christian,
Nice find!
What you have there is quite a rare thing - it's a cam timing tool. It may (or may not) be an original factory item - these are often cut out of 1/4 inch thick alloy and will have stampings such as 'Front', 'C Type' in the centre and numbers on each limb e.g. 100 and 50. However, since these are very simple items to replicate I have come across 'workshop' items cut from different stock, such as thiner alloy and mild steel.
Regards,
Tim
