I bought a Voodoo 2 as-is and untested for $3. Despite owning a large collection of vintage graphics cards, I don't actually have a Voodoo 2.
The problem is that it didn't come with the I/O bracket.
Does anyone have a suggestion on replacing this?
Does the card work fine?
Test the card first before buying a bracket. If the card works, then you can buy a bracket.

I haven't tested it yet. I plan to restore it whether it works or not.
@bjwil1991 Thank you so much!
If you have a 3D printer, you can print one. I've made some brackets for cards missing the PCI bracket. You can go on Thingiverse and download the 3D model of a standard PCI bracket, then just "delete" or cut out the holes for the card design you need.
In a pinch, if you have any worthless old cards with dual DVI or DVI + VGA, even if it doesn't line up perfectly it will work as long as the bracket sits at the correct height and doesn't prevent the card from slotting in firmly. I did this with an old OAK VGA + EGA card that was missing a bracket. I stole one off of a dead Geforce GT 610, exactly like this one and it worked great: https://www.amazon.com/EVGA-GeForce-mini-HDMI … R/dp/B0083YIGVU
Now for some blitting from the back buffer.
Just take a blank I/O bracket and machine openings on a mill..
Many 3Dfx and Pentium III-S stuff.

This is not the right bracket. The wholes are too large and are oriented upsidedown compared to the original bracket.
On the website linked by @Kahenraz there is also a bracket for DB9 plugs, which is the same size as VGA plugs. Maybe it can suit the Voodoo² [https://www.keyelco.com/product.cfm/product_id/2490].
Knowing things is great. Understanding things is better. Creating things is even better.

That bracket is has the plugs in the center of the bracket My Diamond Monster 2 is offset to the outside of the case.
