Hey there everyone,
I have started to some work on my new 1985 GL Hatchback.
I am not super familiar with Subaru motors and I have intermediate/novice
skills as a car mechanic ( I know vintage motorcycles much better )
Anyways, I was removing my AC and its components and saw this and was wondering what
it went to? It is all metal, it goes down/behind/underneath the driver side valve cover. There is
also a bracket behind it that looks like it may have supported something as well.
My questions:
– What is this?
– What was attached to it?
– Is this something I can operate the car safely without?
– Does anyone have a reference photo for a GL with this component(s) not missing?
Please see photo attached, I outlined the part in question in yellow.
Thanks pals.
