Brake booster brace

After I made the mounting bracket for the VH44 brake booster, I was still concerned about the fact that the entire weight of the booster was hanging off only two bolts. The main issue is that the only two bolts available for mounting the booster seem to be pressed into the relatively thin metal of the main housing and any twisting or movement of the booster around these two bolts could fatigue the thin metal. As a potential source of premature failure I wanted to brace the booster from unecessary movement.

The two bolts that the entire booster was mounted on :

I machined a small collar, sized to firmly fit over the "nose" of the booster and made a bracket that connects this collar to the main bracket. This brace should prevent any movement of the booster in any axis.
