Have a number of brackets I could use some help identifying. When I bought the car, it was completely in parts. I’ve done pretty good so far, but have these left. Other fun bit is some may not even be from an E9 as I have found a few random other parts mixed in from time to time.

I am pretty sure the grouping around 8 is related to the shifter and shift platform.

You used #8 twice...

The #8 on the right appears to be AC condenser brackets
#9 appears to be AC flex line holder that attaches to the right inner fender
#10 attaches to the timing chain cover and holds the lower radiator hose in position
#11 looks like the bracket that attaches to the front intake manifold to then attach the brackets that hold the oil dipstick tube and the battery cable in position.
#12 looks like an AC compressor bracket

#8 next to #3 hold the dashboard in place from the bottom
#8 next to #7 rear window assembly adjusting brackets
#5 front window glass bracket
#6 spare tire bracket
 
This is amazing, definitely nailed about half them. I added a few more pictures here. The grouping that I accidentally double labeled as 8 I am pretty sure goes under the car. I have the rear window brackets (just installed yesterday).

IMG_6080 seems to be a Corvette accelerator cable bracket

Wow, you are completely correct there, which makes sense as there as an old corvette parked next to the car when I bought it. That was the bracket that was puzzling me.

I still don’t know what image 6081 is, which is almost definitely form this car as it has the tan primer on it that much if the car had when I purchased it
 
Carb cars don’t have MPS or Cold Start injection relays or brackets
Thanks, I was wondering what that was!

BTW is this hose going through the side fender on the position as shown?
It is a stub of the power brake booster vacuum hose. Not sure how it got in that position, disassembly is a messy business. It is interesting to look back at how absolutely ugly that engine compartment was at the start of the project.
