These parts are for the brake cables. The piece on the left attaches to the brake handle on one end and a pulley on the other to pull the brake cable. It is in the shot for convenience. The part bolted to the engine mount gives the cables a solid place to go through the firewall before twisting off towards each brake.
I was afraid I’d need to either get an extremely small right angle drill or remove the engine mount from the plane to get the cable guide drilled into position. Fortunately, I was able to mark the hole with my very flexible 12″ pilot drill bit on the top of the mount. Then I drilled up from the bottom through the nut-access-hole in the mount.
