Spitfire part identification please

Hi

we dug up an interesting Spitfire part over the weekend, not a crash site but an MU site, sorry have not got a picture yet…………..

part number 329 39 25
so, I know its MK11 and ‘engine controls’ but what is it ? it’s a stainless steel mounting bracket, holding a Bowden cable and possibly a control linkage ?

sorry this may be a bit vague, but I’m sure someone might tell me more, I wondered if it was something bolted to Frm 5 ? and being made of Stainless made me think it was near the engine ?

so, any ideas chaps ?

32939 is the Constant Speed Airscrew control, and, according to the G.A. drawing, 25’s long part is the Teleflex No.2 sliding screwed adaptor C2012 (MRC Ltd.) It fits onto a lever and ball joint on the C.S. unit behind the propeller.

Might be part of a CSU teleflex control?
