Emery,
Spot on!
When the M/C in Double Trouble started "playing up" I had Helen push on the brakes with the engine running to see what was going on.
I watched the M/C to see where it was leaking and was surprised to see the booster moving when she pushed the pedal. The brace was
installed; however, the rivnuts in the dash had come out and someone used lag bolts to hold it to the bottom of the dash!
I got some steel rivnuts that look like Molly bolts from McMaster-Carr and installed them in the bottom of the dash. I used epoxy on
them to make sure they wouldn't turn when the bracket retaining bolts were installed.
That was back in 2008 and so far so good.
Regards,
Rob M.

Yes, you definitely need the brace. Otherwise you eventually will stress crack the metal where the booster is mounted.
