Odd
I assume it is part of a kit/assembly or discontinued.

That part does not come up in the catalog.

Answer
We have access to a lot catalogs, but in this case I was referring to the MB price catalog.
If it was a valid stand alone part, it would have come up with a listing/price.
Usually:
* This means MB only offers it as part of a KIT or assembly.
* The part is no longer available through MB.

If it was discontinued it would so state.
Did you ever consider the possibility that it was mistakenly excluded from the price list?

You guys did all this work and the OP only posted twice, 15 days ago, with no pictures which would have made all the difference in Id'ing this part.

M/B is very precise when it comes to parts and their numbers. If it was included in a kit, the part would look exactly like #68 or #70.
If it was discontinued it would so state.

Yes I understand that Mike, but the tail end of this thread was about parts and their nomenclature and nothing more.
