Just looking at that the metal (heat-conducting) bracket is fixed to a heat shield on what may be the "hot" side. Opportunity to conduct heat directly to the seal?

Checked mine and the bracket is already installed. I wouldn't have notice it but for this thread. It is not a thing of beauty nor is it an eyesore.
