bud looks like youre missing two brackets, they are bolted through the engine slope and have a curve toward the top which sits on the flat of the engine bay, pretty simple looking at them , i can mail you some pics tommorrow if needed

You'll need a tape measure ... a second opinion and measure three times !! A mains electric drill, backing washers/plates for behind the nuts. IIRC ours are held in with H.T. M8 bolts. I also drilled and bolted through the base of the seat section of the bed through the floor to hold that down too.

You might want to drill and bolt in lap belts while you're tooled-up (so-to-speak)

Take extreme care, there's LOTS of valuable/breakable/critical bits running near where you're going to be drilling.

Good luck, Ian.
