Phil B that is the correct side actually , but it is the manual starter bracket (rewind) not the generator bracket. Gets kinda confusing when you call it the starter bracket & don’t explain manual starter vs electric starter? Hope that helps.
Looks like the easiest thing to do would be to make a pin & install it into the bracket you have? Location may be a little tricky to find, but be creative. Maybe a little modeling clay would help find the exact location? Just my first suggestion.
According to the 1958 Johnson Accessory catalog, the generator bracket part number is 305679 for the RDS 20. You might contact Dan Gano. I will send you a PM with his contact data. The kit p/n was 277900 for the RDS 20′
Could you take a bracket without the "pointy tip", drill and tap it and then machine a pointy tip to fit? Maybe you could make a pointy tip by cutting the head off a bolt, putting it in a drill press and making the point with a file while it spins – screw it into your tapped hole in the casting and put a nut on the bolt to lock it at the desired dimension? Or drill the hole for a slip fit for the bolt and put nuts on each side of the hole? If the non tipped bracket has a big enough chunk of metal in the right place this should work. Comments??

305679 doesn’t have the ‘pointy thing". That’s the "black bracket" I showed in my photo.
I’m tending to agree: take the bracket I have & fabricate some sort of cowl locating pin. Machine something, or maybe just put in a bolt & grind down the end.
The other part number in the 1958 Johnson Accessory parts book is the 377006 generator bracket. The application is for the RDE-19C. Don’t have a handle on that one.
