Jim, I can't find an illustration of that bracket anywhere either. It was
apparently added with the introduction of the TR3A. Somehow you've got the
wrong bolt with it, the bolt through the bracket, spacer, bumper/apron
support bracket, frame and radiator protector should be 4-5/8" long, 3/8 UNF
(Stanpart HB.0937). I believe a lockwasher and plain nut go inside the
radiator protector. The 3-1/4" bolt goes in the other hole through the
bumper/apron bracket (HB.0926).
The parts catalog calls it a stiffening bracket, so I'd guess that's what it
does <g>
