I know the photo didn't come out well. I can't seem to figure out where this little guy came from.
It looks like a rod pin bushing. It appears to be unused. When I was dismantling the engine, I placed everything into an empty box, and as I was putting it back together, I found this in the bottom of the box. I can't find anything like it in the Moss catalog.
It almost looks like a larger version of the bushing used on the suspension's lower control arms, but is larger, perhaps 1 inch in diameter, as opposed to the suspension's 0.625.
I'm pretty sure it's not a rod pin bushing from the TR3A, since it doesn't fit inside the old pistons. It's possible that it came from my machine shop; perhaps dropped into one of the boxes containing engine bearings or the like, and I transfered it at some point to the large box containing all the engine parts.
Does anyone recognise this piece? I'm not too worried about it, since I didn't see anyplace it could possibly go during reassembly... it just keeps annoying me that I don't know where it came from.
