BBC Power Steering Pump Brackets - Location and installation

Having a hard time figuring out how to bolt the brackets onto the power steering pump and then the engine in the right fashion.

Can someone with a  BBC maybe take  a picture of their pump and brackets on their engine and post it for me to use as a guide?

:)

Mike,
The "outer" bracket goes to the waterpump, the L bent piece goes to the engine and wraps to the side of the engine.  If you post a pic I can tell you were it goes...  Are these the ones I sent you?

It's not a close up but you can see how I just modified the stock bracket to work with the headers sorta.

I think I have it scienced out.  I wasn't sure where the spacer and/or spacers go for the brackets.  Figured out one space that fits onto the front of the pump between the pump housing and the bracket and then seemed like there was a need for another one on the backside where the open hook portion of the bracket bolts to the stud coming out the back.

Will take a picture and post it and you guys can maybe tell if I did it right.

Thanks!
