Found a cigarbox full of chassis parts, probably the first ones I ever bought. Here are pics of the ones I can't identify. Any help would be appreciated.
1) Two small brass tube and wire chassis which look identical. Wheelbase looks short and around 2-5/16", perhaps for 1/32 scale.
2) Two aluminum frames, plus two smaller unidentified pieces.
3) An aluminum drop arm perhaps, with the four holes.

The two brass chassis were sold by Buzco. Those tubes slide on the .032 wires slide for varying the wheelbase. When you get the wheelbase you want, solder the tubes to the wire, Chrome plated chassis like these were sold by Dubro.
The black droparm with the three holes looks like a Russkit Carrera chassis item.
The part with the three slotted ears & the rectangular hole is a Cox motor plate for one of their magnesium chassis. The piece behind it looks like a Classis motor pod for their car that had the moveable rear wing.

As Bill said, top one is Buzzco. Called "Flexy chassis" if I recall correctly?
Cox part is for the Dino chassis with 16D size motor.

The frame on top missing its drop arm is by Kal Kar. The other one is a Testors.

Looks like I may have found the drop arm for the Kal-Kar frame, too.
