Default 1981 Hood Prop / Support - reattach?

Hi Guys - just put my hood back on after engine install - and I'll be damned if I can figure out how the bottom part of the prop / support hooks back up... anyone have a pic of this that you could share with me? Wondering if I'm missing a bracket or something...

Thanks a bunch!!!

Ritch

PS - I replaced my radiator - wondering if perhaps it attached to that before??

This is a 69 configuration, yours may be different ?
bottom has a twisted straight piece with 2 holes in. they bolt into inner fender behind/below
the drivers side hood hinge support. the 1 single hole bolts onto the lip of the hood fender.
