Okay, you ready for this...? Muffler Ground Spring...Okay, I know what your thinking...That's what I thought ,too  Anyway, it's just a guess...The others look like modern shock washers...Hope that I could help/confuse...

![[Linked Image from i1302.photobucket.com]](http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag124/wawuzit/3855.jpg) This is a 3 year old photo of my coupe. It doesn't look anything like this now,but you can see this spring next to the frayed wiring.

My old exhaust pipe had a welded on attachment for the spring but the spring was gone. I think when the 216 was swapped out for the 235 it never was put back on. I've got a fenton split manifold and all new twin exhaust now. I never fully understood what the spring was for. Some say radio ground and some say swag in the exhaust. Neither one make any sense to me. ![[Linked Image from i1302.photobucket.com]](http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag124/wawuzit/2128893280029539674anmVYv_fs_zps0150bfc0.jpg) ![[Linked Image from i1302.photobucket.com]](http://i1302.photobucket.com/albums/ag124/wawuzit/100_3088_zpsca4f9dc6.jpg)

Looks like the clutch return spring to me..The others are,like someone else said, modern shock absorber washers that go over the rubber bushings....ED
I was only wrong one time in my life so far. But that time I was right, and only thought I was wrong....ED

I'm with Ed, looks like a clutch pedal return spring to me. The two washers look too small to me to be shock related. The center hole appears to be 1/4".

My guess on the washer type parts would be internal parts for the brake wheel cylinder..Billu38

There are no washers like that in a 38 brake cylinder.
