Need Radiator Info...Stock vs. Fluidyne

Does anyone know if the stock radiator has brackets on the side that are removable and screw down onto the mounts? In my photo the fluidyne has these metal brackets welded on and the new stock replacement next to it does not. Does the stock rx-7 radiator have brackets that screw into it for the front end? If so I need these brackets ASAP...TIA.

My Koyo didn't have the brackets... I had to use the ones that were on the stock radiator.

I put a Fluidyne in my '93 Touring and had no problems with brackets or missing parts / needing anything. It was several months ago so I don't remember specifics; however, I do remember using some little rubber things from the old / stock radiator in the new installation. BTW, I have had NO cooling problems since switching to the bigger Fluidyne and no longer get the boiling and bubbling when the engine is turned off. Sorry I couldn't be more specific about the parts...

PS - the brackets by the red arrow in the picture (several posts above) fit perfectly where the stock had been, no problems.
