Here's the list I made of replies I got when I started a similar discussion
last year:

1/2 connector (i.e a lift arm width pin on each side of the central flange)
3L lift arm
3L lift arm with axle hole in the centre
4L lift arm
5L lift arm
triangle arm (2 holes on top, 1 central hole below)
3L friction connector with axle
bevelled gears in 16, 24 and 40t sizes
7, 9 and 11L axles
Gears with central holes and half width recess to accept a castellated 1/2 bush
Planetary gear
Flexible rack
2L lift arm with 2 axle holes
3,4,5 and 8 steering arms with sockets or:
socket with 1L axle
super long flex-system cables (for suspension bridges)
2x4 and 2x8 tile with holes
leaf spring (I still haven't got around to making this)
