I got that same bracket and for the same reason... after studying it I 
decided to wait until the next time the gearbox was out to install it.  It's 
now in but I have no pics.  If it is the same bracket I'm thinking of it has 
a nut welded to it that replaces the nut on the righthand bolt holding the 
rear mount of the gearbox... the big bolt with a 13/16"(?) head.  I do not 
think you can get that thing bolted up w/o removing the tunnel, the dash 
support and possibly more, but I could be wrong.

It did help secure the exhaust (a bit) though what helped more I think was 
adding a strap mount between the 2 mufflers, there was even a bracket on the 
frame in the exact spot I needed one.

I do not know if a TR3 middle exhaust mount would work (don't see why not) 
you might find it is easier to retro-fit without removing stuff.
