Help identifying parts

Hi all,

I am a newby here. Unfortunately the workshop that was restoring my 181 went bust and all the parts had to be moved by box to a new workshop. The new guys are slowing working on piecing the car back together, but they have come across (and painted) a number of parts where we can't find a home for them.

Of the parts pictured we have identified the spare wheel brace, the door hinges, hood/screen clamps. The remainder of the parts are a mystery. If anyone can help it would be much appreciated.

Thanks in advance

There were lots of mounts available for accessories like wheel chock, shovel, etc..

Ok, I'll try. The square rubber parts go in the lower windscreen latch as a cushion for the windscreen . The "L" shaped metal parts are the brackets for the lower gun mounts, they would have been mounted on inside rocker and maybe the rear seat cross brace. Then you have either 2 shovel mounts or an ax mount and 1 shovel mount.

This is fantastic, thank you everyone for helping. Re. the shovel and other tool mounts, where would they have been, it seems I have two?

Thanks again!!

The shovel mounted on the rear shelf. The ax mounted above the jack.

The big piece with the hole in the middle (upper center) is the spare tire hold down clamp

the two small rectangles with two holes and a pin are door hinge pins; the screw to the body

Deckard, you identified 2 of the 3 things that the poster said they knew in his original post.

It's always good to have reassurances, right?
