67 headlight support rod bracket

hi,
I am to install new headlight support rods on my 67 BB with AC
have restored the car for some years and now don't remember how it was
the two new brackets seems to be too small /short
to fit on the radiator support and to the bottom of the valance
is it different on BB and AC cars?
anyone have pictures?
thankful if anyone knows

Do you have the lower 'L-brackets' used to attach the rods to in place?

63-5 brackets are the short ones and 66-67 are the long ones. The rods that attach to these lower brackets are also different length going up to the inner headlight bearing support. Make sure you have the correct

parts for your car.

Here are some shots of the support rods installed in our '65. Hope this gives you some insight into the installation.
