I have to be honest in that I do not use the bracket either. But most Chevy starters have the bolts staggered so the bracket may be less important. It's not the weight of the starter that's the problem. It's the harmonics of vibration that would be more of a concern. A few months back I promised myself the next time my car is on my lift I was going to put the bracket on.
