I knew you'd mention that, it's the prototype RSR Andy built on the 72S, so it would be there

The racing RSR's have retainers all round.

RSR's all have 'sticks' to hold the lid open........ though mechanics tend to call them props

A thingymejig.
Everything to me in an engine bay is a thingymejig, so it's bound to be there.
Probably next to the whatyoumecallit.

I should hope so as you've got one in your engine bay as well! Hope the weekend went well and have a good flight back.

Is it the flexible injector lines ?
I know a lot of 2.8RSR's have them these days but I've got a feeling that they didn't appear on RSR's until the 3.0RSR went to slide-valve injection later in '74 ...
