One brace supposed to be on each side?

I have a 1992 Camaro RS was has been in an accident before, and a few nuts and bolts are missing here and there, but I was under my car a couple days ago and noticed one brace on the drivers side and none on the passenger side where it looked like it should be. I'm not sure of the exact name of the part, but all I can say is it bolts to the frame where the wonderbar goes and connects to part of the fender. It looks like the brace pictured on the bottom of this pic. Should there be one on each side?

Yeah there should be one on each side, held in by 2 bolts on the k-member side and one on the other.

I've only seen that bottom brace on the drivers' side. It braces the area of the front rails behind the steering box, up to the bottom of the battery tray.

Trust me, theres one on each side in the same spot. I did a k-member swap 3 weeks ago, and there is definitely 2 of em.

I've gottem on both sides.

2 horizontals from frame horns, to crossmember
**CORRECTION**
1 verticals from frame sides, to bottom of the battery tray areas.

I only have ONE of the braces your talking, it is on the side with the battery.

I have 3 on my Z28 also. Similar to Dale's setup, except that on my end for the 3rd piece, it is on the driver's side and not the passenger's. The other 2 pieces go from frame to k-member. The 3rd piece doesn't make any sense where it is and am wondering if I should move it under the battery, or just add a 4th.

Took a look, and yeah, theres only one on the drivers side.
I guess I jumped the gun cause I saw those 2 braces on the end in that pic and those are the ones going to the k-member. The middle one in the pic is the one thats on the driver side. Hopefully that clears up the confusion.

Hey thanks for checking man. Atleast I don't have to worry about that anymore. Why only on one side though, it doesn't make sense.
