they are steering column drop brackets to secure the column to the dash, these were made so that you can bend the ends of both sides into tabs and bolt it around the column i had to come up with a design that could be modified to work a whole number of ways, and this was the best way to do it that i could come up with heres a large image that shows a billet one in use.

stamping a part like this would require tooling to be made, and these worked out to like $6 each after shipping and customs not gonna get custom punch and dies for $60, let alone have the parts cut ---
