Default Radiator Restoration Query

Hi Camaro owners:

I'm having my original 2-core Harrison radiator restored. It's in pretty rough shape. The radiator was stock with my 1968 2d Camaro MT no a/c 327. The individual doing the restoration said he cannot reuse the original upper and lower brackets. I'm not sure if that's correct and would appreciate any expert guidance. I'm going for originality in the restoration. Many thanks.

The brackets are soldered onto the tanks, radiator does not set in any cradles.

No upper and lower mounting brackets on gen 1 Camaros from the factory.
