Hey guys first post on here cause ive not got round to posting my project up yet lol but basically ive rebuilt the back end and currently waiting new lower links arriving and have been wondering for ages what is this part, how does it work and what can/should I do with it. My thoughts so far are wire brush it clean, some pajnt and some wd40 lol

Cheer in advance and ill start a proper thread soon lol

Thanks for the replys guys, had a look and that makes sense, hadn't actually checked where the front two line on it went to but I suppose its just goes to master cylinder and acts like a cut off switch when your back end dip under rear braking.

My links arrived today so ive got them on and polybushes put in the upper links, droplinks on and arb on."just needs a coat of paint over the axle and underside of car then ill refit the axle, just hope its dry tommorow/today :/
