Tidying the workshop after the rebuild and found this part and I can't see where it goes or what it's for  - any ideas?

Could be a bracket for an exhaust. Next time show it with a centimeter scale nearby.

Yes I agree, it looks like an exhaust hanger bracket.

Not an engine mount - I have been riding the bike so I would have noticed that.

Looks like a seat hinge? Although the photo isn’t too clear, looks like the bottom edge is rolled to accept a hinge pin....??

I have looked through all the photos of the bike when I got it and found this - looks like the part but can't see why it's there or what its for - very strange!
