I believe it is an extra mounting bracket. The starters fit different models. You can toss if not needed.I ordered a new starter for my Cub Cadet with a Briggs & Stratton engine. It came with a metal strip. What is the metal strip for, what to do with it?

How sure are you?I believe it is an extra mounting bracket. The starters fit different models. You can toss if not needed.
100% sure that you do not need it to get up and running. The starter just bolts in and connect the electrical portion at the appropriate location. I just changed my starter out and it came with an extra bar; which I did not use. You can hold on to it in the event that I am incorrect that it is an additional "mounting bracket".How sure are you?
