TR4/4A Parts in boot

[Rut]

While digging thru and dismantling one of the TR4as I found a box containing several coarse thread bolts and studs and don't know if any of this is TR related. Several have rusted beyond saving, but most clean up easily. Anyone want to give this a shot?
Thanks, Rut

I'm fairly certain the wooden thing near the middle is known as a "ruler". -odd because it "rules" nothing and is not showing metric units. It could be used to calibrate the imperial speedometer.

The shoulder bolt and locking nut look familiar, but I can't place it.

'Ruler' because it was the same length as the ruler's (king's) foot. I just made that up I think.

The shoulder bolt & nut look like the hardware for an E-Type bonnet link but Brown's Lane was almost 3 miles from the Triumph factory.

The studs look like studs - one is long and one is short.

Thanks guys, SWMBO put the ruler up for me.

... SWMBO put the ruler up for me.

And it looks like a nice ruler - I happen to collect old wooden rulers.

Is it from 'Nelson Hardware'? I recall a Nelson Hardware that was in South Bend long ago.

The little triangular thing....is it possible that it might be off the top of a brake caliper?

I think the bolts are for a very specific purpose because of the machined shoulder just below the head. ?
The small shoulder bolt could be MOSS PN 582-735, the TR4A hand brake fulcrum pin, and the nut would go on it. It might be the same as the TR6 pin, and why I remembered it.

A foot long foot is a pretty long foot. It's bigger than a size 12. Maybe it is king sized.

Boy, ain't we a helpful bunch!

Studs look like they're for attaching a head to a block. No idea what car, though. And the little shoulder bolt looks like it would be for a valve cover. But the brake fulcrum pin is a good guess, too.

Thanks guys, I'll fit the shouldered bolt to the handbrake to see if it's correct and the rest will be stored in a box until I get to that aha moment.

The Jaguar bonnet link bolt I mentioned...

...still not quite right.

Those studs look like air-cooled VW head studs. Are they metric?
