Sounds like the PO did his own fix that he hoped would be as good as the SBC brackets. I'm sure it helps but it really isn't the complete fix. That metal bracket really isn't doing much good since the problem we've been experiencing is the tabs actually breaking or coming loose from the glass. Your metal bracket is just adding some strength between the two tabs (which isn't really needed since they are both bolting to the same piece of metal on the regulator). If yours is working tho ... don't fix it.
