I started the SLOW process of going through the numerous bags of small parts that came with my bugeye, and attempting to clean them.

The first batch was in a bag that had an illegible label. If you are feeling bored and want to play "Which Parts Are These?", feel free to give them your best educated guess (see my blog):

I am also going through a few catalogs and books to see if I can identify them myself.

Cheers!
 
I'm gonna guess that the unthreaded pins are from the pedal assembly. I think the thicker ones connect the master cylinder pushrod to the pedal. There are similar pins, but shorter, in the carb linkage.

I'm going by memory here, always dangerous. So take this for what it's worth.
 
those pins are found at the clutch slave. the Master cyl and the emer brake at the rear wheels, those rods.
 
The other place the pins are used is for the parking brake rods at the rear axle. Uses both sizes.
I do not know what the 1/2" dia. bolts are for.
 
Thanks, guys. Looking at the diagrams, it could be either of the two applications you mention. Mystery almost solved. :smile:
 
The stampings on British bolts usually reffer to the manufacturer and are not an indication of the grade, size or thread count. See if you can find a parts book. I think some of the suppliers have reprints of them. I found them invaluable when I was restoring my 3000. The parts book will show all of the hardware that accompanies each assembly. The diagram of each piece of hardware will show you if you need a cap screw (a bolt threaded all the way to the head) or a true bolt (which has an unthreaded shank section between the threaded section of the shank and the head.) The parts numbers for the hardware are coded to give you the size of the bolts for each application. Once you know what size bolt you need for a particular assembly, just use a bolt of the correct style and dimension. The head markings are not really relevant, other than to show you are using an original British bolt.
 
The first picture contains parking brake parts, the screws hold the plate in place and the studs are for front and rear. Have know idea on the grommet
