Where do these parts go on 3 HP Lightwin 1963

Hi all you nice iboats people.
This is my first post here so I hope I get it right.
After 20 odd years in the back of my shop I decided to take a look at the old 63 Lightwin 3 I had half disassembled and abandoned with a view to getting it back together. Encouraged by the great advice on this site and the help from Tom's Outboard-Boat-Motor-Repair site I cleared the bench and took the whole thing to bits (except the prop gears). I put in new impeller, carb repair kit, coils, points plugs and leads etc. At the end of it all I couldn't remember where/how this small brass bit fitted on the low speed needle valve which I think has the function of restraining the valve from turning freely. (Picture) and the other bit is a guide through which the plug leads run which presumably attaches somewhere to keep the leads from getting into contact with hot parts.(other picture). Any thoughts would be welcome.

Normally that item would go forward to restrict the knob from turning 360 degrees. It's not needed... install new packing washers and tighten the brass locking nut to a point where as needle valve will not move due to vibration.
