TR2/3/3A Identify the Mystery Bolts from TR3B front and interior

Hi all,

I just purchased a TR3B that was undergoing minor repairs (replacement of radiator, a few other things) when the previous owner stopped working on it, and is no longer available to assist due to health. I have a variety of bolts that I need to identify, the manuals/Moss motors/etc aren't detailed enough, and thought you all may be able to help. The front apron, radiator, generator, bonnet was removed. All the interior around the doors, carpets, seats, cappings, back panel, boot panels, and the Gas Tank were removed. The dash/instrument panel may have been removed and replaced with another. I have identified quite a few not pictured already. These are still in progress. and perhaps a few more.

The number is to the left of the bolts. For example I believe #7 are radiator attachment bolts.

Some of those are common hardware store replacements, not originals. #7 does look like HU0909P, which is what the parts catalog shows for attaching the radiator to the frame. (I replaced mine long ago with socket head cap screws, which are easier to R&R.)

Suggest you download
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2H...YmE2LWFiN2UtZWYzMjNjNGFiYzY4/edit?usp=sharing
and
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B2H...YmE2LWFiN2UtZWYzMjNjNGFiYzY4/edit?usp=sharing

Between the two documents, you can find details on most of the small hardware (except items with 6 digits instead of letters and digits).

Randall's note above contains the best suggestion. I'll make a couple of guesses in reference to your photo. 1) Could fasten the braces to the crank support, if TR3B still supports a crank, 2) four of these plus some washers likely fasten the apron to the inner fender fittings, 4) could, with washers and one nut, be the fasteners for the generator to engine bracket, 5) likely used for side-curtain brackets on doors, 6) (and maybe 7?) could be part of what's needed to fasten frame cross-member, if that's been removed, 7) could be bottom radiator fasteners, 8) chromed? could be fasteners for passenger-side grip handle; other possibilities: door latches, rear view mirror, trunk handle; it's hard to tell the size, 9) likely vinyl panels to body or doors (needing cup washers), 12) hardware store fasteners? maybe used to fasten the trunk panel which covers the gas tank, 13) hardware store fasteners? maybe to fasten grill to apron?, 14) apron tabs to inner fenders, left and right? or maybe the top of the radiator to the the two support brackets, 15 & 16) hardware store fasteners? could be for signal lights to grill, 17)vinyl panels to doors likely (needing cup washers).
