I can't see photo, but they the bracket bolt up with the inside bolts on the front bumper brackets. Those two brackets then attaches to a large bracket that should have come with the heat exchanger.

There is a bracket that goes around the heat exchanger and then two small ones that mount that bracket to the bumper mounts. Go to the following site and you can see pics and part numbers.

Normally you have to go to junk yard to pick these up. Some have made there own out of angle iron. I went to junk yard. Its was hard when I looked, but worth it if you do find. Having the right parts makes this swap really really easy.

As usual,,,call Mike! He will get them for you for cheaper then you can go buy them at Ford! http://www.madenterprise.com/scparts.htm 510/742-6780
If you can find a Lightning in a junkyard then you might find them there.Otherwise forget it.
The ones on NLOC sold a couple days ago.

Looks like ones on NLOC sold. Factory price $54 each. If you go on line and serach slavage sirtes for L/HD you can find for probably $50 for both. Or go to MAD and get a break on $54 each.
