Mystery parts any ideas?

[planecrazy]

Would be most grateful if anyone can shed some light or even have a guess as to what
and where in an aeroplane these parts may come from?

Was given some pieces recently I suspect from either a RAAF Catalina that crashed in
1948 (A24-381) or a Qantas Catalina (VH EAX ex RAAF) that was washed ashore in
1949 eventually scuttled off the island. I may be wrong as there was also an Ansett
Sandringham wrecked in 1963 (VH-BRE ex TEAL ZK-AMD) 1963) and also scuttled as
well. Have a feeling the locals would have been able to get onboard and have a bit of
a scrounge and suspect this is where these parts may have came from?

I’m going to have a stab at what I think they are?


Cowl flap hinge and some sort of bracket for a bottle or tube to be mounted Inside the
fuselage?


The square with rotating circle and handle, maybe a trailing edge aerial that could be
wound in and out in flight? The right piece, the lever on top can be moved and locked,
no idea? The top piece something to do with both the other bits?


Pulleys, brackets and pipe, no idea? The bits at the bottom are bacalite with an oblong
alloy section attached at one end, again no idea?

Thanks so much........

The first photo looks like a rudder pedals stirrup strap and a rudder pedals pivot assembly with toe brake hydraulic pistons.

The two bakelite items might be insulated handles whereby an operator could adjust the tension or orientation of an antenna without the risk of electric shock or RF burns.
