24 inch radiator installation - lower bracket help

My new 418w demands better cooling than my 3 row 20x16 radiator can provide. I decided to upgrade to the 24x16 Griffin replacement radiator. I just received a new Ford shroud, and upper and lower mounting brackets from NPD. I understand how the upper bracket installs, but the lower brackets have me baffled. Can anyone in 70 mustang land with the 24 inch radiator explain how the lower brackets mount or better yet send me a picture? Anyone have a exploded view diagram of the 69 or 70 mustang radiator setup with the brackets?

yes, It's the straddle type with one bracket on top that straddles the upper tank and two brackets on the bottom.

Tim; The picture is very close I can't get an understanding of where the brackets are attached. Looking at the brackets from NPD, the straddle "U" bracket with the three holes that locate the rubber piece is on the same angle as the frame rail support. If these brackets were mounted on the inside or ouside of the frame rail support, the staddle U bracket would be inline with the lower radiator tank. Can you give me an explanation of where to mount these brackets or a picture that is further away? I really appreciate your help. You 69 looks great, how do you like the FPA headers?
