Ah, maybe I'm imagining the stock bracket.  I just checked my '73 cover,
and it doesn't have it.  In the pictures in my mind (no, not those), it
wasn't much more than my stack'o'washers.

I figured it out after I removed my original one, had it silver soldered
and it started to crack again soon after.
