Can anyone help identify this part?

[Brainsprain]

See photos. It came off while removing the left side footrest assembly. When I removed it, I thought it was in the wrong place. It clearly has two connecting points, but we could not find where it would go. Any help will be appreciated.

Would help if you stated what year, model spyder it came from?

Ya, I think there is a post somewhere about putting your year make and model in your sig!! It does help! Looking at the captured nuts, I would have to guess it's stiffing something up that has been removed. When you took the last bolt out it fell on the floor! Just a guess, good luck!

Sorry, it's a 2017 Spyder RT.

I. know, but I haven't been able to find it. Thought I had done that at one time.

I took a look at this. Thanks for the link. The part that seems to be where I need to look is a mess on my laptop. I can't see the part for the part numbers.

You are right. I didn't know it was there. It was like someone had used it to hold a bolt, but it was not meant for that because it should have done something else.

I was just looking at the picture, and I think it's the panel support#705007375!

What is needed here is a highly trained sluth...

What panel? I can find the reference but not the picture that shows where it goes. I thought it may be support for a panel but for what panel and where? It must have something it connects that is capable of giving panel support. I assume by panel you mean the plastic covering.

What were you unscrewing when it fell out? If I had my 2012, I would take the cover off and tell you where it goes, maybe. BRP doesn't like changing things up much, so I'd be willing to bet it would have the same bracket! If it is that bracket, and I think it is, then it may be attached to that end bolt on the point of your footrest support. What it attaches to on the other side, I would have to be there to figure out! Most of the times when you look at a schematic like that, they show you in sequence where the part may be! Good luck!

I went out to my RT (2012) and took a cpl of pictures of what I suspect it is.


This part maybe?

Supports this panel if I remember corectly.

Thanks, I think that is right, because on the point, there is a bolt hole which would go with one end. We couldn't figure out the other end. Maybe today I'll be able to figure it out?

That makes sense, but we couldn't get it oriented for that. Maybe we weren't turning it right? Work on it again today. Thanks.

No problem, hope it works out for you.

Won't be riding the Spyder for a few weeks. I'm going to drop it off at the dealer for a look-over. Surely they will know the part and where it goes. We're traveling home from Oregon to Florida and Spyder will be on our trailer behind our RV. Thanks for your responses and efforts on this. I'll enter a report when I find out.
