TR7 mystery parts


I recently picked a load of Triumph TR7 spares parts.  Amongst the many parts are several I do not recognize. The top right object is made of hard black plastic whereas the other three are metal.  What are they?

OK and the answer is:
 The 2 pieces on the left are spring retainer clips for the front brake pads. The one at lower right appears to be a mounting cone for the MacPherson strut. It goes in just under the strut top mount.

 The two on the left are front brake pad retaining clips/springs
Top right is the bumpstop for the propshaft (UKC826
Bottom right is the top front suspension mounting cone (ULC2435)
