Metal Fabrication Equipment Appraisal

Automotive Fabrication or Alignment Kit Component

This appears to be a heavy-duty automotive component or tool kit, likely for suspension or chassis modification, packaged within a corrugated cardboard box. The primary component is a thick, flat steel plate, roughly rectangular with one rounded corner, featuring multiple drilled holes of varying sizes. One large circular hole, approximately 1-1.5 inches in diameter, is centrally located, flanked by two smaller, equally spaced circular holes, each about 0.25-0.5 inches in diameter, indicating mounting points or component attachment. The plate has a dark gray, possibly black, finish, consistent with a durable coating like powder coat or an oxidized metal treatment. Its surface appears smooth but shows some minor scuffs, indicative of handling or factory processing. Also present are several metal components: a long, black threaded rod with a hexagonal nut at one end; a smaller, black threaded piece with an internal thread and a rounded, knurled top; and a larger, black cylindrical component with a stepped design, possibly a bushing or a specialized socket, which shows a smooth, dark finish. Two small, bright red, soft plastic or rubber caps are also visible, one possibly on a bolt head, suggesting protection for threads or sensitive surfaces. The overall construction points to robust engineering, designed for high stress applications, typical of aftermarket automotive parts. There are no obvious maker's marks or numbers discernible on the components themselves, but the handwritten '3/4' on the box flap might indicate a size or measurement for the contents. The condition seems new or very lightly used, with no significant wear, rust, or damage visible.
