Heya all,
As part of a (seriously important!) civil service christmas quiz this year, we have been given this picture, and asked what it is. The picture is on our geocities weblink (below). Any help would be much appreciated...
Kind regards,

Sorry Huhenio, I keep meaning to take some photos of it, but keep forgetting what with all the other [censored] I'm dealing with. I'll be glad when Christmas is over and I can get back to doing nothing but tinkering in the shed.I'll try and remember to upload pics over the weekend. It's the only time I see daylight!! 🙂

It certainly looks like a tie rod end.... The reflection in the water droplet suggests the wheel is off and blue sky's present. Yellow and green ? Shop floor perhaps. ?Leon, you better let us know what this is when the answer is revealed.
