Mystery Part
I finally got around to having a local shop install the new chain and sprockets that had been taking up space in my closet. She ran great and no more chain noise. A few days later I found something that may or may not be a bike part on the ground. It has some numbers on it and is dirty enough to be a bike part but I couldn't find it in the parts list. Anyone recognize it? Is my chain going to come flying off and amputate my leg if this part isn't installed? Thanks in advance.

don't know about merc's, but i call it a blind adjuster.
a "J" shaped bar with threads clamps something in the slot.
there are tightening marks of a washer on the underside.
this is it in my head https://www.dropbox.com/s/q2gadjs5wefwgt8/ban1.JPG
might help the merc boys zero in.
i don;t work on rusty scrap
ps,,, there is something very similar on a truck , slack adjuster mechanism. you have to push it in to adjust the brake slack.
