Hanging Nufflers

I'm confused. (what's new?) I was under the impression that I had all the parts for assembly. I am missing a nut, but I can get that anywhere. Now I am faced with missing #29, a spacer.
I don't remember and don't have any spacers (takes 2). The more I look at it, I can't imagine where they would go. #18 is the muffler bushing that goes in the frame . So now I wonder if #29 is the inside of #18 or are there actual spacers used that I am missing. the muffler bushing #18 is all one piece and already has a sleeve in it. So what's #29 and where does it go?

EDITI I read a little further and see the dimensions It's more like a thick washer. 10.1 x 15 x 4,8. 4.8 is only 3/16. Naturally it's obsolete.

#29 is a bushing that goes in the center muffler mounting holes. Check the mufflers, the bushings might be still in the holes! If not, just make them.

You'll need those bushings/spacers. They keep the outside pipes off the inside pipes and the swingarm. Help, reduce vibration a little also. If you don't have them you can buy them at Home Depot, Lowe's etc. for less than a buck. They don't need to be exactly the same diameter and length. Just very close to being the same size and as long as the diameter is large enough for the bolt to slide through.

OK, but where does it fit in the 'stack'? Found one of them. It was stuck to the nut. Can't find the other,

The left side goes between the two exhaust pipe hangers and the right side goes between the inside pipe and swingam. Just look at the fiche closely. If you would be interested in possible lowering the vibration a little or you still can't find the other. Perhaps consider buying plastic ones at a hardware store. They shouldn't melt as they are pretty thick plastic. They will be somewhat hidden once installed. Just an idea.

I found the other spacer. It was stuck to one of those triangular pieces which was stuck to the left inner muffler bracket. I should have everything now.
