ID left over parts from engine rebuild

[tparkerxj]

Hi all,
I'm finishing up my 4.0 rebuild and hope to drop the motor back into it. I have a couple parts I don't recall where they go to, and one may or may not even be a Jeep related part but I think it is. Any help would be greatly appreaciated.

u shaped thing goes on the oil pan. the bracket with the hole in it looks like it was for a hood switch or a maybe an ac line. not sure on the rectangle one.

I can't place where it goes, but I think the Z-shaped piece probably took a bolt through the large hole and a wiring harness "Christmas tree" through the small hole. IOW, it should be keeping a wiring loom in place somewhere.

The rectangular one reminds me of the pieces that hold the fuel lines in place on my 12V Cummins. Not sure where it would apply on an XJ.

The long half-moon goes on the front underside of your oil pan, it helps to spread out the clamping force of the individual bolts so that the front seal is less likely to leak, which they love to do.
Thats the most important one.
