<VV> Brake bracket... crap!!!

[Cash Case]

I just opened up the front passenger side wheel on my 65 monza. There 
is suppose to be a bracket that sits right under the wheel cylinder and 
goes from a receiving spot on the inside of the front shoe to a 
receiving spot on the inside of the back shoe. Mine's missing... I want 
it back now!! ;op

I wonder which one of my kids did it?

Does anyone know the purpose of this bracket? I check the brakes after 
installing a wheel cylinder on the front passenger side. Brakes worked 
fine for about 10 minutes until after a few hard brake tests the 
bleeder valve started leaking. It's one of those self bleeder valve 
with the spring and ball on the end. Suddenly it's squirting fluid out 
of the valve. Can these things go wrong? After I cool down I'm heading 
back out to remove it and put the original bleeder valve back in.

Seems like the front wheel are the only ones braking... heavy sigh ... 
It never ends.  ;op
