mystery bracket - any clue what this fits?

Doesn't look like a bracket to me. It's a wrench - maybe for adjusting distributer timing.

I don't know what that wrench is for but I'm sure I could have used it at one time or another. Karl

I'm going to put in some spaces, so the URL is clickable.

Now that I can click the URL. Might it be a specialized wrench, not a bracket?

Bill,

Usenet doesn't work like a bulletin board forum. You do not need to use tags for urls and images. In most newsreaders they just get in the way.

It's a specialty obstruction wrench. Yours is a newer one. The older version still has an angle cut instead of the round bottom.

This is an older one:

the consensus of replies so far is that this is a wrench, but I am really really not convinced yet - the angles of the "heads" are unusual, the way the heads are forged is not like a wrench with the back of the jaws being rounded, I think I see some marks from a hold-down bolt (not positive), and I think I've seen this exact thing as a bracket on something - I just can't remember what. I agree that the ebay item looks like the same thing and has the same numbers, but it has a hex cut in one end, on mine both ends are round.

Still, the consensus may be right - but if so, then the question is - what was the wrench for?

It looks like some of the ones my brother makes out of cheap taiwanese wrenches by heating and bending, or sometimes cutting and rewelding, to save the exhorbitant cost at the parts counter or traveling tool truck, for working on diesels (Cummins, Detroit, Dresser, etc.) in all the weird places they have to access: injectors, push rods, all that...

You know. If you wanted, you could (doing it yourself) delete off the tags, or put in a couple spaces so the rest of us could click on the links.

in response to black dragon - yes, I understand that, I was in a hurry and figured that anyone interested would cut the url and paste into a browser
