Hector, mine does have the bracket, and we modified that with a piece of rubber hose over the ear of the bracket to keep it from moving to far toward the radiator.
The next time we see each other, I can show you what we did. My radiator has an "X" brace from the upper left corner to the bottom right corner and the upper right corner to the bottom left corner. This "X" brace is about 1/4" in diameter and on the inside of the radiator nearest the fan. The damage was done when the assembly hit the "X" brace shearing off the fins on the round aluminum portion causing them to penetrate the radiator. Guess I am not very good at explaining things, hope this will be clear enough to understand.
