When i took it apart (see photo), it was just resting on top of the saddle, but the Green Book diagram looks like it should be bolted down (even though the Green Book doesn’t show this saddle between the bracket and support assembly). The new support assembly I have has holes for bolts (though there is a thin layer of rubber covering them), so it seems like they are intended to have the bolts go through. It makes sense that you wouldn’t want the support to just bounce around, but it’s odd that it wasn’t bolted down - maybe somebody put it together wrong somewhere along the line.
Anyway, I would appreciate any advice
Thanks,

Hey Mark .....According to the drawing that Mac VanPelt has so generously made available for our information, it shows that you are missing
BRACKET #6068, which fits down over riveted
CROSSMEMBER #5059, which you can clearly see is riveted into your chassis with 5 rivets on each side. What is odd about this situation is that I don't see the shiny piece in your picture, depicted anywhere in the drawing. I do see a "ROUND-HEADED" stove-bolt #355718-S in the drawing, similar to the two bolts shown in your picture. It
almost appears that that shiny piece in your picture would fit over the MISSING Bracket #6068.
I'm sorry that I can't help you any further! DD
