Transmisssion braces needed?

Well after 3 more hours with an air grinder we fabricated one side of the brace so it will clear the header. This is on the passenger side. It is in and hopefully one is better than none because the one on the drivers side has to go under the starter bolt and there is nooooo way it's going in there. I appreciate the help and I'm sure we will be back soon with more questions. KB
