Tyre placards?

[V6HQUTE]

i was looking at a few of my glove boxes and noticed that theres 2 different tyre place cards, 1 i ripped of to paint my glove box(hopefully its standard was brown now black) and the other is black with a different place card, are either of them anything interesting, also found some other thing in a box, got no idea what it even does let alone what it came out of, its a switch of some description,

the ripped one was on a brown gove box

Its an auto kickdown switch, usually sits up behind your accelerator pedal

any idea about the place cards?

Different tyre placards for different models and body styles. The placard on HX-HZ is actually an identifier that can help with determining a Sandman or not as the derated load capacity is related to the tyres fitted from factory. There should be a part number in the lower right corner which can help identify what model it's off.

Not only for HX and HZ but also for most HJ sandmans.

If you do need the correct placard for your sandman let me know. I'm the only one that has the correct reproduced EXACTLY how the originals where. Others on the market are wrong. I have a wardrobe of original glovebox lids that proves this.
