Default radiator insulation

I took out my radiator and radiator support today to start cleaning up the engine bay and to try to tackle the surface rust before it gets bad. Does any one have pictures of where on the support the insulation strips go around the radiator and on top of the radiator. I have all the insulation but no pictures. My car did not have it on before, just trying to get everything right as I go along. Thanks

I think the Corvette Central catalogue has diagrams. Just checked their website, but the diagrams in the catalogue aren't there.

The assembly instruction manual shows them.

Be careful with the radiator support out of the car. It's a structural component for the front clip, so you don't want to lean or sit on the car with the support out.
