Default Radiator Mounting Brackets

I bought a new aluminum radiator support to with my Dewitts (w/ spals) radiator. However, I'm unsure of which brackets I need for mounting. My old support/seals/mounts are pretty crappy, so I figure just get all new stuff. I know what seals I need, but I'm seeing brackets for copper radiators (which are what my old ones were), but I need the aluminum ones now. However, looking at the major suppliers, I'm unsure of which ones I need/how many. The way the copper ones are, it makes sense to me, but the aluminum ones I'm not really seeing how they secure the radiator to the support. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

You use the same factory brackets U brackets and cushions to mount the replacement aluminum radiator.

Can anyone post a copy of the AIM page that shows the radiator/support? I really should have taken pictures of all this before I took it apart, but now I'm looking at Zip and seeing several different brackets, several different cushions, etc. I want to make sure I order the correct stuff and get everything I need in one order instead of 2 orders after realizing I'm missing something. Thanks!

What year is your car? What engine is your support and radiator for?
