bmulvenna@hotmail.com Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 (edited) 2004 Monaco Dynasty. Found 2 of these on the ground in front of the passenger's drive tire. They are made of hard plastic. Any idea what they are? I am thinking they blew in from someone's trash.

Chargerman Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 Looks like afterburner nozzles from an intergalactic star troopers backpack Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redstickbill Posted March 6, 2023 Share Posted March 6, 2023 They look kind of like the pieces that slip on a water hose fitting to help with tightening the hose to a hose bib. Bill B 07 Dynasty 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bill B 07 Dynasty I'd need a hand or a ruler for scale to go there. I occasionally find "junk" sitting in front of the tire on my truck or automobile that someone seems to have put there to give me a flat or just to see if I crush it. They got me once with a jewelry sized pliers. Tire guy took it out of the tire and I still have it in my toolbox. Amazingly good hardened tool steel.

Wesley Pool Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 Those are easily recognizable as intergalactic starship troopers afterburner nozzles. Those are in pretty good shape. Usually a little more crispy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

throgmartin Posted March 7, 2023 Share Posted March 7, 2023 They could be part of a gear assembly from a patio awning. Not quite sure. Or they could have fallen off a Southwest Jet that was flying overhead. Heard Southwest airlines maintenance operation is coming under FAA scrutiny again. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wamcneil Posted March 8, 2023 Share Posted March 8, 2023 (edited) Call the History Channel show “Found”! They’ll figure it out and put you on TV. https://www.history.com/shows/found ps- Please don’t attempt to watch the show. I tried it and that’s 30 min of my life wasted that I’ll never get back.

rcl285 Posted March 9, 2023 Share Posted March 9, 2023 Since no one has suggested a serious answer, I’ll take a stab at it. On several occasions, I have visited fabric vendors and noticed the material comes rolled around 3 or 4 cardboard tubes which are displayed on wall racks. I remember that the tube racks have one inch or so pipes that the tubes are supported by. The look like adaptors that push into the tube ends to act as bearings to allow the material to spool off easily. dick L. ‘04 imperial Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
