Vertical ignition shield brackets

Does anyone happen to have a picture of the two brackets referred to in the attached picture attached to their engine?

I cannot tell from my AIM or repair manual specifically where these brackets that support the bottom of the vertical ignition shielding attaches to the engine or body.

Awesome, thx!

the great thing about the Assembly Manual is it pretty much shows everything.

The bad thing is it also tells me how much of my car is missing, or incorrect!

Here are some more pics. I hope these will show you what you need to see. If you’re more specific I can help out with more pics. My car is not ncrs or anything but I have tried to make it as factory correct within reason. Sorry I do not have the vertical shielding on right now. Overall, all the shielding for the radio and heat shields are a major pain to install. Small hands helps. I know the shielding has a purpose and if you’re looking for the factory look it needs to be there. But I can appreciate back in the day why people discarded many of these pieces.

Awesome, thanks, very clean engine bay btw, wish mine looked as good!

im going for factory original look as well, but can certainly see why a lot of fellas did not reinstall the shields!
