Default Where does this rubber thing go for the radiator support

Hey guys, hopefully someone can help me. I took my radiator out ages ago and now Im installing a alum radiator wwwwwooot! Should be nice.

Where does this rubber support bracket go, anyone care to take a look at their stang and let me know? Theres two of them.

Ive got a few things I fail to remember so I hope you all can bare w me and help a lil fellow stanger. Im not that good of a mechanic but Im learning. thnx

Sorry the support isnt in focus on the pic. If you guys need a better pic let me know, but its pretty simple. Should be able to locate it on your stang. Maybe its for the condensor, which I took out due to a a/c delete, power steering relocate Im doing.

Ya, Im thinking the condensor. LOL I should change the way I do these projects, I have about 3 different things going there - the dash gauge is out, the gas filler neck needs to be bolted down, and now this stuff. LOL Only do one project at a time! and make time to finish soon or you ll forget everything! label things! LOLLL

Pretty sure those are what the radiator sits on so there's no metal to metal contact.

The radiator mounting pads will be on one side of the radiator support and those brackets would be on the other side.
