Unknown brackets

Anyone any idea where these are for please.

Some kind of attachment bracket but not something I could pin down beyond that. By the looks mounted externally.

the angles make me think of the tow bar braces, but they probably aren't.......

came off my 110 about five years ago but can't remember where

Did you have different sills or rock sliders? Just a thought!

It's bugging me as to where they came from, I was hoping someone would know straight away
They haven't been chopped off or anything that's how they came off the landy

You didn't used to have a bike rack did you?

Was just a thought - if they were taken off 5 years back it could be 20 years since they were fitted....and the early bike racks were much heavier duty (as were the bikes back in the day.....)
A mate had a Saab with tow bar and bike rack set up that involved steel tubes forming a V.

I had a bike rack fitted behind the tow-ball back in the 'eighties that would have supported anything the rear suspension could cope with, that was how racks were constructed back then.

Towbar braces, cut down, captive nuts for mudflap mounting ?

Well I'm disappointed in you lot, not being able to identify a bracket from a 1984 V8 110

Have a look under the rear crossmember to see if you can find matching bolt holes.
