I've attached a picture of what I believe is a steering column bracket. However, I'm not sure. Can anyone shed light on what this is? I've already reinstalled my dash and I found this in another bin of parts from the car.

After a bit more research I believe I've figured it out. It appears to be a lower dash bracket that goes just to the right side of the steering column. It attaches to the lower right side bolt of the master cylinder and then to a bolt in the lower dash.

Corrected the title for those searching/reading in the future ;)

Some of these I have seen have been cut and welded back together. The reason for this is unknown to me and I have never heard any explanation for this ? This one is from my car ; has the repair and a date stamp. Might be better to call this a brace rather than a bracket ? Mounting points are the pedal support and lower dash. Brian

Yes - better term

Were these brackets originally painted black or left natural steel?

Thanks- it explains why everyone I have seen is so rusty.

Coat it with Boeshield after cleaning it up. You can brush it on or spray it.
