1980 Johnson 35 leftover part

[gdc0581]

I just converted a SS 1980 35HP to long shaft. Since I virtually had to disassemble the entire engine to do this, I decided to paint it. It's all back together now and it looks and runs great. The problem is that I have one part left over. The part is 323107 and it is item 78 in the parts diagram for the exhaust housing. Unfortunately, the diagram is a little ambiguous as to exactly where this part goes. I'm having difficulty imagining exactly what this part would do anywhere near where it is shown in the diagram. Help please!

If you can post a photo that might help.
I cant recall that part anywhere myself but i have never undone the lower mounts, maybe thats a clue

They call it a mount housing bumper.
Doesn't it go between #'s 25 and 17 towards the bottom?

I think it may be this one
Its approximately 3cm width when motor is down.
Ive now done that nut up

Yep... That installs between the two bottom motor mount brackets in a vertical position.

Yep, that's where it goes. Now I see why I had no recollection of taking it out. When you remove the 'clamshells' of the lower mount, it just falls out. I probably just picked it up off of the floor and said I'll figure out where this goes later. Thanks to all for the help.
