If you truly wanted a solid mounted differential, the proper way to do it would be to replace all 3 of the original mounts with solid bushings. This would keep the stresses spread out rather than focused at one bracket at one corner of the differential.
With that advice, I’m going to remove the brace for now. If I replace the bushings down the road, I’ll drop it back in…
