The "1)" are drive rails made by Enlight and are available on eBay.  The "2)" card holder slots are standard from the era and would be found in most old cases of near any make.  The "key" was made for the lock and a full replacement can be bought from Jameco.com.  The hard drive "cradle" was specific to that case and will be hard to find, but Enlight still makes cases and maybe you can find one, or make one from sheet metal (how can you have lost the original?).  The bracket for the AV Module can be made with any blank and a Dremel tool (again how did that fall off?).  The white posts for the CPU card can be found in several sizes online (Jameco or MCMelectronics) and were sold on Amibay in the past; the dimensions are available and you can make replacements from an old cheap Bic ball point pen cut and screwed in on both sides.  The bezel for the floppy will be hard; I'd buy a full replacement as even the same model number had different fronts.  A new 880k is available from AmigaKit for $30 an old HD from one of the 'bays' will run 60 bucks or so.

I'm not sure how I can see the missing part, but the center piece that the two 5.25" drives goes in, is present.  Can you find actual pictures of what you are missing since I own and maintain 3 T's and may be able to help?

Yes, all of the above will work, i.e., attach one rail to each side of any 3.5" to 5.25" bracket, and it will slide in and click into place.  Alternatively you can put two rails on  5.25" drive (CD/DVD/HDD) and slide it in place.  There are more options available with a USB card installed in your A4000T, such as card readers.
