The Official "What The Heck Is This?" Thread

Motorcycle fork. Could narrow it down further if you find the stamping that says "made in xxxxx" and a part number. Stampings would be on one of the gray fork legs.

 

Front forks of some kinda Bike.

 

PO installed a replacement steering column and front disk brakes, but I have no way to figure out the manufacturer for replacement parts- internal blinker mech, and brake pads.

Anyone have any idea what these could have been from? Second image is the column’s electrical connection.

 

Cool disk brake set up

 

Update to my own post - randomly typed in some keywords and learned the steering column is out of a 63-66 Buick Riviera.

Now on to those brakes.

 

the calipers look like factory from late model cj . my 77 had similar ones

 

AWESOME! Thank you

 

The brakes are same as mine. Two bolt caliper mount from a 79 CJ. I had the hardest time figuring out the hardware kit.

 

Here's a head scratcher for me. What is it? Is was in a box of parts that came with a dauntless I bought. I've owned a few dauntless and have never seen anything like this. It is about 2 inch diameter and about 2 inches tall.

 

Looks like an electric oil pressure sensor

Edit: found it. It’s not an oil pressure sensor.

Tim, what motor would it have fit on? A Jeep? Thanks.

 

DR is Delco-Remy. Here's crossing the number on RockAuto. RockAuto

Looks like a bunch of GM cars. Would not be our Jeeps, since you need computerized spark control to use the knock info.

 

Thanks Tim

 

It's for a Buick 231 Turbo ....... Don't know why it's in your box of 225 parts?

 

That knock sensor was used possibly from the late-'80s all through the '90s, so it fits many GM applications. My '95 LT1 Capice engine uses that part.

Good search! I have that same tilt column from a '64 Rivvy. I'm a day late seeing this for the indentification.

The chrome lever on the dash is the parking brake pull.

I can’t confirm what fluid goes in here. I think the book says GL3 SAE140, but I see other people stuff it with grease. Any ideas?
