Season's greetings to the community! Amongst the trappings taken off my S2 long years ago, before I'd any idea of how the restoration would take so much time, I've found an unfamiliar piece. Having no photo record from which to place this I'm asking for help in where and how this was located. Looks to me like it conforms to the aft arc of a rear wheelarch, outer reaches of the boot. 3 hex head capscrews visible retain bent steel tabs on its backside, no idea what they're for. Pic attached.

Cheers
Steve

Yes, part of the decking that goes around the motor and I’m pretty sure those black knobs take the carpet, maybe the vinyl cover that you can also buy for that area, Gordon

Yes, they do take the carpet. See following pic. On your pic,? it looks like the carpet side of one fastener is stuck to the board side.

Thanks fellas! Jeff's pic suggests to me that the bent tabs on the backside may be to stand the board off crowding the rear side marker perhaps. Seems the board is just wedged into place rather than fastened?

There is an L shaped bracket that one side bolts to the wheel well, and the other side to the board, with a 6 mm bolt. Fold the carpet back to review the bolt head. The other end of that board is bolted to the rear wood panel that covers the rear indicator lights.
