No marks whatsoever.

You guys have no idea how many resources I have looked at trying to figure out where it would go...

Take it to your local ACE Hardware store and ask one of the helpful folks they employ what it is and then report back here with your findings.

Too funny, after all this it’s a requirement that you find somewhere on your bike to use the part!
