Default 41 ford radiator mounting?

Can someone post some pictures of how the radiator mounts in a 41 ford car? I used to have a 46, and it had pieces that attached to the inner fenders that the sides of the radiator attached to. I don't see these on my 41. Am I missing some pieces?
Any and all help is appreciated.
Thanks
Matt

Were the braces just small brackets or were they like the 46 style with deflectors ?
Thanks

braces were about 6" long with a carriage bolt, head towards the rad, that slid into slots on the sides of the rad. tighten the nut on the carriage bolt and the other end attached to the inner fender. At least that's how my '41 was set up.

I have been through the same thing recently. Mine did not have any brackets either but they are available through your parts store. I had to modify mine to fit. They attach to a hole in the inner fender to the side of the radiator
