Name this thing, win a prize...not really.

Alrighty, what the heck is this thing? It was located under the dash on the passenger side. Nothing was attached to it. It just sort of hung there.

The brace to hang the A/C box on?

[freshtiva]

:? Ill name it .....a "hanging D bracket". I dont know what it is, Ive never seen one before. But I want one.

Weapon of mass destruction? :lol:


It looks like the outline of the A/C core, but there's usually just a plastic pipe in Festivas without A/C.

[monkeyracing]

yeah, the large, plastic intake duct went through the middle of that thing, but didn't actually contact it at all.

Maybe it's a kick plate so that your feet don't kick the duct and break it.

ive got one of those in my car too. i hung my interior heater from it.

[floydiancomplex]

mine sits on the back porch with the rest of the dash support bars. I never knew what it was really for.

[monkeyracing]

I went through the shop manual. It is the evaporator housing support. Mystery solved. I just wonder what the hell it was doing in my car. Kind of pointless to install something that supports something else that's not there.
