Hi Peter,

Have you any idea what this might be? Found at the edge of a field at the back of beyond. Any clues would be handy, thanks man.

well done sandpiper - techony and i were out today and he found his part and i found the other 2 pieces about 20 yards away.

they fit together to form a stirrup.

well done indeed  - full marks to you.
