So Dan, it looks like the bracket itself attaches to the frame with a couple of bolts. Must’ve been double layered. The backside of the bottom curls back and attached with spot welds to the sheet metal, while folding out to attach to the frame. My frame doesn’t have visible holes there but what’s the previous owners obsession with his torch, they are probably just filled in when I ground the welds smooth. Thanks for the pictures. It clears things up….kind of.

If you are missing one component, you'll need an abundance of the others two.
