Yup.
The clear plastic piece faces down when mounted and it collects dust/debris before the air gets to the air cleaner assembly.

Check the classifieds. Now that you have a syncro part you are looking to get rid of the 2wd  |

I had that thought way before I knew that I had a Syncro part. There is one down the road from me just sitting there, the guy bought it a few years ago drove it home and started having engine troubles and parked it. Its been there ever since, I send him an email every few months seeing if he is ready to sell it yet and he's not, I will get it eventually (I hope). He only payed $2000 with a good driveline, apparently the engine is having fuel injection issues.

This just fell on my foot whilst driving. I think I know what it is, but I’m looking for confirmation. Thanks!

Sure looks like a jam nut. Is there one in the steering setup? Can't imagine it just falling out if it is tho....

| The second part is for the antenna to provide a counterforce to the nut on the sheet metal. |

That’s my guess, as well. I did replace the antenna 25 years ago when purchased. That part probably sat atop the ground trees for 110,000 miles before dropping today.

Not sure if this is the right place for this post, but certainly someone must know what kind of Girling caliper this is? I think I'm in need of a replacement, but I can't seem to find the exact match any where online...
It fits to my 2wd 1986 camper van.
best,
Jack
