help - airbox on 2007m8

okay guys,

I am planning to run my sled in the UP of Michigan next weekend. I bought the sled used a few years ago and it has the slp pipe and can and timberled clean air intake, no fuel controller. I am going to put heavier weights in for UP. I am also planning on putting stock airbox back on which I have never done as this is my first M. I took off the timberled but am unsure if I need to remove the silver bracket here. I assume the nose cone airbox pictured below looks okay. I tried to put it on but it appears this bracket was put on to fit the clean air intake, which I now need to remove. any help or advice is appreciated.

stock airbox that I have, does this look right?

got it, removed, boot there, airbox in but no brace for nose to hold it down. I will have to jimmy rig something.
