Default GM wind blocker brackets?

Anyone able to show a picture of how the GM wind blocker (wind screen) fits into the C5 vert?
Trying to find a set of the brackets or at least dimensions so I could have them made.
Thanks

Not sure if these are GM, aftermarket or whatever. If this is what you are looking for I would be more than happy to give additional info, dimensions etc.

Hi Johnny- Thanks but looking for the GM windscreen brackets, not the wind restrictor brand. I assume they’re different.

Thanks. Would like to get dimensions. The person I got this Vette screen from sold their C5 and left the brackets in. The bottom posts are square. Hope I can find or make 2 of them.

Didn't know GM even made a version of these. I thought they were all aftermarket. I could be wrong I guess.

From what I read, the lady who came up with Vette Net was doing well until GM came in and made an extremely similar product.
The one I just scored has the GM stamp on it. I just need to MacGyver some brackets to hold it. Or find someone who has a pair laying around.
