Game: Identify That Part!

[DanZ_BT7]

Hello everyone, I need help identifying a few parts. Ten years ago my father gave me his 60' Healey and the restoration is finally complete. The car has been a thrill to drive. However, with all successful restorations there are a few extra parts and I was hoping that the knowledgeable BCF community could help me identify what they are and where they go. This first part was powder coated body color, old English white, I have no idea where it goes.

See Moss catalog, "Outer Body Panels 100-6, 3000" - Item 44, "Bracket, front fender support".

If the air hose running from the right of the radiator to the blower is out, you can see the plate on top of the wheel arch to which this attaches.

Aha! Thank you Steve! I just removed the hose and found that my front fenders aren't attached to the body as they should be. I guess I'll have to remove the fenders to attach the brackets. The car has been recently painted so I'm a little hesitant to remove the fenders at this point. I am hoping that the fenders will be okay without these supports for a season or two. I guess I'll have to be careful when leaning on the fender, working under the hood.

Okay, second question. These two parts have been Nickel plated and once again, I don't know where they go or what they do.

I had a rattle in my rt-front fender that took years to find. The rear bolt was missing between the bracket and the fender piece shown here. That's how I recognized it. Stumped by the other pic, however.

I'd be fitting the fender supports as soon as possible. The other parts stumped me too. Another mysterious six cylinder part.

Kind of looks like part #805-045 in moss catalogue a back rest channel

They are part of the bracketing for the rear seats back panel. What you have there is one half of the assembly for the LH and RH side.

Doesnt quite look like the back rest stop for the rear seat, but it does look like one half of the longbridge top stick stop for when the top is up.

Thank you RJC and Lin! I do think they are part of the backrest side panel assembly. The screw location line up and it looks like it would hold the side panel in place. I'm going to post a third part later today. Thanks!

Okay, third part. This part should be a "no brainer". It's the pull handle, about 2 ft long, at the top of the picture. I had this part powder coated black, it looks important, and yes, this is embarrassing.

I do believe you are right, thank you Healey Nut. Those are the spare parts that I have. Now that my healey is back on the road I'll probably be a bit more active around here. Thanks everyone!
