Can anyone tell me where this goes?

This bracket was in the engine compartment of the 1967 1/2 Datsun 1600 (with a u20 engine) that I am restoring. it is obviously some sort of bracket/clamp designed to route or hold something round (a hose?). Where does it go and what is clamped into it? I painted it black, it was originally unpainted.
As always, thanks for your help.

Do you have an antenna already mounted? (I have no context as to the size)

Not the antenna bracket.

Not the antenna bracket.

Wasn’t sure. Haven’t come across anything else similar to that.

It looks like some kind of heater hose/pipe support, but it isn't anything that I recognize as being for a Roadster. 99.9 percent sure that it is Datsun though.

I have a 70 U20 and it has a bracket mounted to the timing cover inspection port stud (the larger diameter one). It caries the air pump line and the fuel line safely above the fan blades. See circled items in the pic. It looks similar to yours but has two circle brackets = small one for fuel, larger one for the air hose. I am not familiar with the earlier pre-emission U20s.

As said before, might be from another Datsun engine as an attempt to accomplish similar function?

Joe:
Thanks, that might be it. The U20 engine might have had smog at one time. Whoever put that engine in this car may have deleted all the smog stuff but left the bracket in the car.

I think it might go on the right inside fender and hold the fuel line to to fuel filter
