Weird folding crank rod but what for?

  1. Getting to the dregs of all the bits that came with my project van "Lottie". This seems to be a folding crank rod which is fairly rigid when extended but what is it for? I am guessing something to do with the roof which I have yet to renovate and fit. But where is no obvious mechanism or winder to receive it. Perhaps it is not a crank but a removable strut. The conversion was a 79 Holdsworth. Grateful for any thoughts:

    It may just be a scissor jack crank a folding one

  4. Thanks folks, pleased it is not roof associated. I guess its for those who are worried about defying gravity.
