Bracket for GSL-SE oil cooler

Does anyone have a picture of the bracket that holds the oil cooler line? I think the brackets are different for the cars with power steering. I'm putting a front mount oil cooler in my GSL (12A) with power steering and need to find this bracket or make one. I have the bracket from a GSL-SE without power steering and it doesn't line up correctly.

there are two brackets, one on either side of the oil cooler. they have rubber mounts that secure to the mounting points on the car and thus mount the oil cooler. there is a bracket that bolts to the engine that secures the longer oil cooler line to it to prevent it from sagging. which would you like pics of?

I have the brackets that mount the cooler. The bracket I'm speaking of attaches to the front iron and holds the rear oil line off the cross member. This is the one I need pics of.
