Help! I don't know what these pieces of plastic do!

Hey guys!

Have started on my keezer build. When I took the freezer lid off, I think two bits of plastic flew off and I'm not sure what they do. Are they important? =)


Cheers,
Eddie

Looks to me like they just slipped over the end of that spring bar.

Yup, I would say they are the "glides" for the ends of the torsion bar.

That was my thought too. But they don't seem to stay on (as visible in the photos, the holes are square and significantly bigger than the diameter of the torsion bar)...

I feel super dense right now...

Maybe locate an exploded drawing of the freezer. The one that shows all the parts.

Found the exploded parts diagram:

I can't see those plastic parts used anywhere. Still a bit strange.

It looks like they're parts 11 and 12 on page 8 of that parts break down. Looks like they slip over the end of the torsion bars (as said by others). Probably held in place by tension on the bar when everything is mounted. The ears on the part keep the torsion bar spaced away from the hinge frame so that the moving part of the hinge doesn't hit the bar. At least that's what it looks like to me.

Look for marks in the paint that correspond to where the part has been pressing into the paint.
