    Clip identification

    Anyone know where these are from. I stripped the car down some years ago and haven't got pictures of where these came from.

    Some aftermarket Mk2 headlights have a holder for the sidelight like that.

    I wondered the same thing initially so was think Mk3 Escort Rs1600i for some reason.

    Agreed it does look like a bulb holder, bit of a strange-looking connector part though.

    Re: Clip identification

    Some idea of size might help - a ruler beside would assist? A bulb holder seems about right but angled mount is odd!

    Depending on its size top could be either a door/boot lock back or a plate for the choke cable

    Top one is the plate that goes behind the door card to retain the remote mirror knob

    Many thanks. I haven't fitted the door cards yet so that helps.
