Mystery Part- P14?? (Pic Attached)

[Brandon S]

This part either came with the disassembled '42 P-14C or was bought with a set of misc '42 parts- can't remember.  Now about done putting it all together but anybody out there have an idea what this is and where it goes??

It looks like it might be a motor mount.

Looks like a driveshaft carrier bearing.

Gents,

 

I'm guesing too, but I don't think it's either of the first two suggestions because it's too small and flexible for an engine mount, and wouldn't last long as a drive shaft mount because it's a bushing with no lube points. It looks more to be an alignment bearing for a floating part such as the shaft betwen the steering wheel and the worm gear. Does your car have a two-piece shaft for that application?

Looks like a brg in the center of it, Carrier brg for driveshaft

It has a metal core bearing surrounded by a rubber mount and a bolted mount- I'll try to see if I have some mounting holes somewhere. Where on the driveshaft would this go? I have the OEM steering- one piece from wheel to the gearbox.  Is it even for a 1940's Plymouth? 

 

Here's another one appears to be some sort of slotted bracket: under the dash?  Engine compartment? ....any ideas?

Brandon,

If that first pic is indeed a driveshaft carrier bearing, I doubt that it fits your car. Typically, you would find one of those in a vehicle with a 2-piece driveshaft. It supports the driveshaft assembly at the center U-joint. I'm not knowledgeable about P14 vehicles, but doubt that it had a 2-piece driveshaft.

The next item is a mystery to me, but it does resemble a track for an adjustable seat, although too short to be that. I'm sure someone will recognize it soon.

That 1st pic looks like a driveshaft centre bearing to me also........for the long wheelbase 7 passenger and limo mopars which did have a 2piece driveshaft.......andyd

Ok, got one more I found- a pair of trim somethings with 2 mounting brackets on each- anybody out there might know what the heck this is??  Thanks.

[Roadkingcoupe]

external sun visor mounts.

[busycoupe]

I agree with Roadkingcoupe, the last pic looks like part of a sunvisor mount.  The third pic looks like some kind of bracket that would be mounted with the wide side up.  Used to hold something that would have to be removed easily....windshield washer reservoir perhaps?  maybe to hold something in the trunk like part of the jack?   Just guessing..

Looks like it might be a track for a window regulator end, see if the mounting points match up to any two holes on any of your doors or inner rear quarter (depending if you have a coupe or sedan).

^{Thanks everybody for your input, going to look for matching mounting holes one last time today and then they go to the junk pile.}
