I had the same problem recently. My mechanic replaced my 948 (60 Bugeye)
cover with a cover that had a bracket. He mentioned that the bracket was
added later in production.

Ah, maybe I'm imagining the stock bracket. I just checked my '73 cover,
and it doesn't have it. In the pictures in my mind (no, not those), it
wasn't much more than my stack'o'washers.
I figured it out after I removed my original one, had it silver soldered
and it started to crack again soon after.
