One of the long bolts passes through it, while the other "leg" is fastened by the appropriate oil pan attaching bolt. I'm sure they are available. You really should have one installed.

Plus its one more point of ground (so to speak). I know one fellow with a 50 F1 had the same issue as you and he went through and grounded everything to everything and it sure cured his issue!!!`Motor to frame motor to body, motor to starter visa vie the anchor bracket etc etc.
