Hi,

I found this part crumbled under the brake booster, but it wasn't connected to anything.

I have no idea where it supposes to go, so any help identifying this part and find the correct location would be really great.

It appears it does wrap around something, that would be my guess.

Thanks!

A gasket forgotten from a past repair?
What's it made of, and what's its scale?

Sorry,

totally missed your reply.

This feels like a rubber-coated thin metal piece.

Yes, I assume it was left over from a recent repair job (coils + engine harness), but could have been there for a longer time already.

Thanks again!

It looks like a harness holder that mounted to 3 nubs and held a thicker (two sides) and a thinner (center) harnesses. I looked in my engine bay but didn't see anything that looks like it, so it's probably from some place not easily accessed.
