Random Spring Found Under My Thruxton 900 In My Garage, Any Ideas?

AHAAA thats what happened to my spare

CHEERS TONY

PS Ignore me someone sensible will be along shortly

 

Looks like a car bonnet (hood US!) catch spring.

 

Hi Tony
You're right, it's a random spring

 

Garage door handle latch spring?

 

When did you find it exactly ?
Just wondering if it could have been when spring was just around the corner ?

 

Was the floor wet where you found it? Someone could have spilt some spring water.

Look, you've had six replies and two of them have been sensible, which isn't bad for this forum!

FWIW I tend to agree with Callumity, so be careful when driving your car!

 

Is your lawnmower missing something?

 

Did you get a Pogo Stick for Christmas?

 

Thats thingymagigy that sits next to the wotzit near the doodaah

 

That’s the one. Over by the bit that turns that gizmo makes the bit go up and down. Without the spring it falls a bit flat

Well this thread got of to a great start. Yes I agree could be a bonnet spring. Or if you have an old rear drum brake bike it could be from the brake rod. I am forever finding bits like that and just put them on a side and if I find something missing then relook at it. Don't worry it will sort itself out eventually.

Do you have a Bobber that does not Bob ?

 

You don't by any chance use a bike lift. I have a similar spring on my hydraulic lift on the return mechanism

 

It's the custard spring that sits next to the wadget flange, all Thruxtons have one.

 

A very large ball point pen. Do you get a bad back? Check out your mattress

 

Yer daft buggers. He asked back in July and hasn't been on the forum for 21 weeks so we'll probably never know

 

Just shows how bored we get in lockdown
