Thanks Tom.

Searching through the miscellaneous boxes of parts from when I stripped the
engine last year, I found two of the brackets. The etka image is what I was
looking for so that I could see how they were attached.  I am assuming that both
brackets use the one of the three bolts that attach the heat exchanger to the
crossover pipe?
