I checked both my ‘37 and ‘46, each with the 216. The ‘37 has a ‘39 version of the 216. It does not have a bracket. The ‘46 has the original, but rebuilt 216. It has a bracket. I have driven the ‘37 for 20+ years without any rattles or other issues without the bracket. Granted highway speeds have rarely exceeded 45 mph, so others might have different experiences? A photo is attached of the ‘46 bracket. ( I am unable to get photos to post directly with posts, lately. Not understanding why. If someone can doctor the link to correct that flaw, it would be appreciated.)
