The two items painted black that have four small holes and a large center hole are the U-bolt plates for the rear axle. A rubber bushing goes in the large center hole. There is a similar unpainted U-bolt plate to the right of these two. Above the unpainted plate is an igniton coil holder (clamp). The cable is a ground cable with a "bonnet-type" conector for the battery.
 
And the aluminium "straps" are the cable ties for holding the turn signal switch harness to the column on pre-'68 MG's. That black lump in the bottom photo, bottom right looks like the skeg off'n one of my old pre-carbon fiber slalom waterskis! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif


...and are ya sure that red knob don't say "TAPPAN" on it?!? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/devilgrin.gif
 
The little cylinder thingie (#1) looks like the carcass of an old Lucas flasher unit....

Like someone was either curious or *Gasp* tried to fix it.
 
You may be right! They're a bit bigger than the column ones. I'll go with diff bundy pipe straps.
 
Those are Diff, straps. the twistee piece is a coil bracket, wire of course is the neg side of the batt. on a neg.(or other side on a pos ground) ground car and is a period peice, the black is a bugeye rear bumper mount support goes inside the cave. Might also be MK I MG.
 
Might be helpful if you numbered the parts? (then people could say "#4 is...."

I tried. At the moment it is beyond my abilities. /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/thirsty.gif
 
Marker, pencil, paint?? Little peices of paper with numbers??
 
DuH!!In this age of electronics I was thinking about doing it on the computer. Old school markers! Right!!

I drew a big number 5 on the big silver thing that appears to be the inside of a sun visor; but when I scroll down, my blue #5 I wrote moves down to an open space.
How will I get the marker off the screen?

I took care of it for ya! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/tongue.gif

PS: I numbered 14 and 15 as different parts, but on closer look I think they are the same part, just one is sans paint (or grease).
 
Yup. Rear spring brackets.
 
10 and 16 appear to be "handed" bits of the same part, and I've NO idea what LBC they could fit. Too "fancy."

5 looks to be the rear generator mount from ~something~.

12 looks like something from a "modern" car. Like a bracket for an A/C compressor or alternator off'n a Japanese vehicle... You ain't been "colorin' outside th' lines" on us, have ya?!? /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/jester.gif
 
I think # 11 is from Docs BBQ.
 
vping - #3 (left) looks suspiciously like the thingys currently holding my wife's mop and broom onto the garage wall. You sure these are MG bits?? The P clips on #3 (right) are fuel/brake/wiring harness clips.


#7 looks like a pair of oversized MGB horn brackets, but with extra holes.

#11 seems to be an oil filler cap of some sort.

That is all.

I stole it from th' neighbors, Jack! /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/lol.gif
 
#1 Looks like the outter can (without the guts) of a Lucas flasher relay.
#7 A pair of horn mounts
#8 looks like a bracket for a coil
#13 looks like a Lucas battery ground strap

That's about all I can even guess at (and I am guessing)

#6 is a bumper bracket for a B. But don't ask me if it's front or rear
#3s are flasher clips
Nasa may be looking for some of those other parts... Better send that pic to them /ubbthreads/images/graemlins/grin.gif
