Hello,

On my 1303 Convertible (1978) I found a "mysterious" hook (or something what seems to be a hook) on the inside of the rear right wing, in the space between the rear seat.
What's the purpose of this hook?

appears to be the bracket that your fuel injection computer should have been strapped onto...guess you have a carb conversion?

Yes, that's it, the fuel injection was swapped years ago for a caburetor-version.

Thanks to all for the answers
