See how they fit in the factory holes, they should be readily available, perhaps someone will post a picture. Do you have any manuals? Ed

I had those braces left over, thought they were for something else. I left them on the shelf for 10 years.

Not shown on Shaffer's pic, but the center vertical support goes where I circled in red. The support rods connect near the top of that and extend down to the apron to holes I can't see in this is pic. Notice the center vertical support is offset to the driver's side, so the shorter rod would go on the driver's side.
