Default What the heck is this?

Just cleaning the engine compartment and found this thing. First picture is where I found it, and then a couple of what the thingie looks like... I search all around the area but could find anything where that might have been riveted in place. It could totally be something the previous owner dropped in their and forgot about...

Memory, HAHAHA.

Its the bracket that the bonnet safety catch/hook clobbers when the bonnet is opened.

Mine went AWOL years ago, never bothered with it.

Attaches to the scuttle edge just inboard of the bonnet lock on the LH side, for RHD cars, maybe the same for LHD.

2 pop rivets, really amazes me any are still there.

I refixed mine with two small bolts, the pop rivets are pathetic!
