Mystery Nut Any Idea's

[MandM]

Hi Guys , been working on the yellow one, fitting a replacement distributor and setting the other up as a spare for the boot with a spare lumenition ignition system as well.
I found a nut and wonder where you think it has come from? and then I will tell you where I found it while doing the above jobs.


Please have a look at see if you can help me identify it.


Thanks very Guys.

Looks like it might have been welded to something at one time?

Is it 1/4 unf by any chance?

Is it one of the nuts that secure the heater to bulkhead ?

It's smaller than that, must be some sort of BA thread, across flats 6.27mm, and it's 2.10mm thick.

Right guy's, will put you out of your misery of where I found it, and also have had a suggestion of what it is, A points nut which, there has been no points fitted to the car since May 1992 and 97,841 miles now 116,000, and when I did both head gaskets etc the dizzy was left in and the top of the block cleaned and painted.
So this little nut has been sitting where I found it for 20,000miles and 22 years.

will not let me add a picture will try again later,
