stock t-case brace

I'm new to the site and enjoy all the information that I've gotten. Just bought a 76' highboy, no rust, strait body and nice interior. The 360 was shot, no big deal had a old 390 for it. Now I'm building a 390 for it now. Should done in a few weeks. So my question is on the t-case brace that go's form bottom of case to cross member should there be a bushing at the case where the brace bolts to the bracket? I would post pictures but don't know how.

Yep, the stock one looks like a 12 year old built it. Mine had some sort of rubber bushing where it bolted to the crossmember. No bushing at the T case though.
