I dropped my oil pan last night(finding out i was missing a bolt), and noticed on the passengers side there is a bracket that is holding two tranny lines(i think) together, it has a bolt in it identical to some others in my oil pan but it's just hanging there.

Now on the drivers side there are some more "bolts" that are threaded rod with nuts on them that has brackets on them that appear to hold lines, But these brackets are empty and there are no lines anywhere to speak of to hold.

Any chance that the first bracket i was talking about is supposed to go into an oil pan bolt hole? and could be the one i was missing and didnt get replaced do to a sloppy last install? Also is it possible that the empty brackets on the drivers side go on the passengers side to help hold the tranny lines?

I tried google, and the search here, if this has been covered im sorry i couldnt find it, and just wanna get this right before i put it back together.

 

Did an oil pan last week. I have a few pictures that may help. I didn't get a picture of the bracket on the left side. It held up a write(I don't remember what for, o2 sensor?). I hope these help. If you need more, I can snap some more pics after work.
