Default Found these parts in 69 I recently got. What are they?

Every time you get a new used car there are pieces you find that you don't know where they go or if you should save them. Sometimes they go to a different car. Here are some pics. Anyone know what any of these are?
Thanks

The second looks like carb idle solenoid,
the last pic shows a t top shim. The rest I think is junk

the long bracket in the last pic looks like the radio mounting on the centre console .

The last picture is a t-top shim and I think the other one could be part of the seat base but not sure

The black oval rubber is the seat rubber bump stop. Screws to the base at the rear

Hi Glenn,
I believe the rubber seat bumpers used in 69 were round not oval… so it's likely some sort of a replacement.
Regards,
Alan

The radio brace.


The roof panel 'tongue' shims… 2 in place.


The solenoid is a nice find.
It was used on certain engines when the car was equipped with a/c or automatic transmission.

I just checked my 69 seats and they are round in shape

Oval black rubber item is the seat back bumper - you can find them on vendor sites by googling the part number.

The first bracket appears to be an accelerator cable bracket but hard to tell based on that pic.

These are mounting brackets for a Pingel brand motorcycle front wheel chock. Id take them if you are going to throw them away. I have 1 chock that I move between different trailers.

The black rubber oval bumper, is a GM seat bumper. Those bumpers were used on various GM cars in the 60's and 70's, but not the 69 Corvette, which as others have said, used a round bumper.

The round 69 Corvette seat bumper was discontinued about 25+ years ago. Once discontinued, GM started substituting those oval bumpers, for the round 69 seat bumpers. I know because I still have some of those oval bumpers, that I received years ago, when I placed an order with my GM dealer, for the round ones. GM didn't care that they looked different than the original bumpers, they were an acceptable "service replacement" part.

I believe the first pic is a broken accelerator hold down bracket (two pieces).
