What's this rubberwhatsit?
G'day,
It's taken me a long time to take a photo to try and see if you lot might know what this is and where it comes from.
After I moved my H&F 16BPA onto a heavy mobile base which I bought off Matrix (the base that is) I noticed this sitting nearby on the floor.
Is it somewhere off the 16BPA? If so what does it do and where does it go?
Or, Matrix is it off your base?
I've had a look all around the two and I'm stuffed if I knwo where and which it came off.
Talk about confuses the heck outta me.

G'day Matrix,
It's made out of a hard rubber, a bit like say the bushes in your car suspension. Damn camera is cactus at close up shots, Ill try for a better one tomorrow.
Cliff, I thought about Gumby, but it's not green.

The photo's not very good, but I don't think it's a whatsit at all. Looks more like a thingumejig to me.

G'day Chrisb691,
Maybe I shouda posted this under Homemade Tools and Jigs. :
Nothing has fallen apart yet because of it, but it comes from somewhere.
I also have a number of washers and nuts that appear on the shed floor outta nowhere, but you mob'd have a harder time telling me where they fell off from - and nothing's fallen apart because of them yet either.

Have you noticed your goose's bridle has developed a lean recently?
I reckon it's missing a wigwam!
Hey Waldo, instead of mucking around trying to get your camera to take closeups, why not stand back a bit, take a pic at a higher resolution and crop the background out later?
cheers,
P

Looks a lot like the rubber cap that goes into the end of the aluminium extrusion that the fence runs along.
It's Ripping Time!!!

Okay, so I felt a bit guilty about being a smartass. I'm not very good at photo manipulation, particularly improving a bad photo. In fact it's usually the other way round...I start off with a good one and make it bad.
Anyway, I grabbed your image and tarted it a bit. At least you can see a bit of detail now.
Maybe one of the other smartasses can do better.
Well can you? Huh! Huh!
Go on....dare you.Chris

Chris, you didn't happen to buy a 1.8m steel stepladder recently, did you?
The Geelong Ladders ones that we sell (as do Supercheap & others) usually have 2 of these blocks jammed on one of the crossmembers on the bracing legs.
I assume they support the ladders when they're stacked in the container from china.
Cheers.................Sean
