Default Intake manifold brackets needed?

Forgot how/where these guys go, but it doesn’t seem like they are critical, as the manifold seems pretty secure without them. Although the black one is pretty hefty.

The larger black bracket fits on the passenger's side back two intake manifold bolts. The raised tab will fit over the back edge of the right fuel rail.

It's a grounding strap for your fuel rail

The large one has the small tab that curves over the top of the back side of the fuel rail. Its supposed to stop the fuel rail from popping off in the event of an accident so gas doesn't pump all over your hot engine. I reinstalled mine.

The little one is a ground strap that should definitely be put back on. If you changed your fuel rails to aftermarket aluminum ones, you should get one for the other side

so I’ve had the car apart for too long now. To confirm. There only needs to be one with the stock fuel rail? Frantically looking for the second one now, but realizing it may not exist.

There us only one grounding strip and it goes w the stocknfuel rails. If you put fuel rails that aren't connected by metal you will need to ground other side.

There is a thick black metal bracket for each side (safety stops) but they are not the same

What is the part number for the silver ground strap? I found the black brackets but I can’t find the ground strap anywhere online

I don’t have a thin piece of stainless unfortunately but I may do that if I can’t find it anywhere
