This is the original hardware for a Cobra or 427 Cobra for fixing the jack against a boot compartment wall.
Clip: When AC Cars shut down the first time a large number of clips were obtained from their stock room by some Cobra rebuilders in the UK. The last time I bought some (about ten years ago) from one of these fellows stock was almost gone but there should be some around in the UK. Commercial reproductions are available.
Chrome Plated Brass Raised Contersink Screws with BA threads. : 4BA X 43/64 inch threaded length under head. (Note: The same screw but with a different nut was used for glove box door hinges.) I never found any new old stock or new made ones in more than eight years of hunting. For my use repairing a friends Cobra I had a few made in the UK by a manufacturer of brass screws. Easy to find longer length stainless steel screws of modern manufacture can be cut to required length.
Standard 4BA Hex Nuts: I found a few here and there in the UK, model rail road enthusiasts still use some BA threaded parts. Sometimes some of the suppliers of British specification hardware for the restoration trade carry them. They are bare steel (self colored in British terminology) pieces machined from imperial hex rod stock; one side in flat faced and one side is chamfered.
Spiral Lock Washers: (the tiny washers not visible in the angle of this picture) Easy to find.
Distance Pieces: An AC Cars fabricated part, machined from round aluminum rod. To get new ones you make them or buy them from somebody that has already made them.
As used with grease guns there were no distance pieces and the fasteners were different.
