The "What Is This?" game

[Elmojo]

If I could do that, I'd be psychic! 

[ragecage23]

Let's see if someone can get it. If not I'll give to you, elmojo.

[Elmojo]

Nah, my guess was way too general. Anyone can see it's a mounting plate, I'm just not smart enough to figure out what kind.
Hopefully some of the others will chime in with better guesses. 

[mennobike]

Mounting plate for all your bits and bobs on that one thing so you can tie it all together?? 

[axexandru]

Give us a clue ragecage23, what industry?

[Janx101]

Mounting plate for servos and stuff on a r/c car/boat/plane/drone. .. ??

[ragecage23]

It pertains to something that goes on a car.

[Elmojo]

Related to a racing seat perhaps?

[Iarn]

Mounting plate for a seat belt.

[Janx101]

Part of a roof rack/bar?

[ragecage23]

Nope, hopefully this hint will "light" the way. It goes under the hood.

[Elmojo]

Ignition coil mount? 

[Janx101]

Engine bay work light for breakdowns/repairs in the dark?

[axexandru]

Some kind of mounting bracket for a hedlight?

[ragecage23]

Boom, axexandru got it. It's a mount for a ballast.

[Elmojo]

Cool! For an HID, right?
OK axe, take it away! 

[axexandru]

Beginners luck ) Here you go.

[ragecage23]

Yeah for an HID. Is it some sort of tape measure holder?

[axexandru]

Nope.

[Elmojo]

Trays for a food dehydrator?
