I'm putting CAV chassis 077 together and I don't know where this part goes "HELP".

I'd hazard a guess it's a "Towing eye" for either the front or rear of the car.

And by looking at the fixing bolt - probably the rear

What size is it? I don't recall anything like that on mine. Ian's "towing eye" makes as much sense as anything else. My car didn't come with one.
 
Ellis,
This sounds a little out there but I have seen some hangers for steering columns that look similar to that, although they had a clamping setup on the big loop.
Just a thought.

Ellis, I had a look under the dash of my CAV and nothing like your ring is under there or on the steering column. My bet is a towing eye but as suggested earlier you many want to contact Johann or Jean at the factory.

Thanks All,

It must not be needed if all the BRAIN power here doesn't have a clue. I'll put it in the big box of unused GT40 parts that I've collected over the years and who knows I may be able to build another car some day.

Thanks, Ellis

I liked the bottle opener idea but that doesn;t work either.
