Yes, I did.
I also secured the dipstick, which is definitely necessary.

Don't use zip ties. It's very easy to use all of the original brackets properly.

I used the 2x original brackets, they needed a little bending but fitted fine, I havent made a dipstick bracket but will do it before she hits the road.

The dipstick bracket is fairly simple. Take the original m52 bracket and chop it a bit so that only the piece holding the dipstick on remains. Neat little solution and it holds the dipstick exactly where it should be.
