What are these???

I was cleaning out my shop this morning and found these (see attached) which were in the tool box of the MEP-002A trailer. What are they? I would post them in the classifieds, but don't have a clue as to what they are or what they are worth. Thanks!

Whatever they are, they look like they would slide into the bow pockets of the older M116 genset trailers. They look a little whimpy for lift points.

I got the same items with my 116 a few years back. I also thought they were too wimpy to be rigged for lifting, especially with a 003A in the bed.

There are trailers on a "certain site" right now with those on them.

Are we no longer able to search by FSC codes on that site? I searched 2330 and there are zero results. I tried both logged in and not logged in.

Saw that, but I still don't know they are used.

We used them to strap down the bows for transport. Not sure if that was the correct use.

Here's what they are

Those appear to be wire tensioners - if you string an overhead line, the line slides between the two parts, and the more you pull the tighter it gets. The loop goes aroumd whatever holds up the wire.

That's not what they are

After looking more closely, they don't appear to have two pieces, so they're probably not for holding wire. I give up, what are they??

This is more fun than "what is the square hole for" in the sides of a M105?

You are correct, that is their purpose/function.

OK, so now what are the little square holes for in the m105's?

They're to put your fingers in

Now someone is going to get their finger stuck

I thought they were for cigarette butt disposal?

Just curious, do you have a TM reference? I dug through an older TM on the 116 and couldn't find anything.

I have photos somewhere. I'll see if I can locate them.
