Title: Has anyone any idea what these are for?
Post by: Stuleslie on Monday,October 23, 2017, 07:14:30 AM

Hi All,
I have, what looks like two bottle holders. They look OE but are not listed in the parts manual. They are well made with a reinforced mounting plate and a holding spring around the front. Incase it is not obvious they are located in the rear wings.
Any ideas what they would hold?
Cheers
Stuart

Not original.

None of my 7 x TCS have anything like that.

I presume it is located under the rear luggage holder which is directly above the gearbox.

Maybe held a catch tank for vented tubes from the engine, to catch oil.

Thanks for the replies, I guess they were for some form of bottles or tanks. It would be worrying if they were to catch oil as they could hold several litres! Anyway they have been removed for a servo on one side and the battery in the over.
Thanks again, Stuart
