MG MGA - mga coupe window frame

I am ready to install the chrome window frames of my 59 coupe back into the doors. It has been over 6yrs. since they were removed and I don't remember how they are connected. When the frame is set into the door it seems as if there should be a bracket or something that attaches the frame to the door. It has been so long since I took them out I cannot remember. I cannot locate a bracket in the Moss catalog so if anyone can help it would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks

If you can't find the two brackets pictured by Gary I can send you dimensions. If you have got as far as wondering about the brackets you must be almost there with the door innards assembly. Unfortunately you will not find much on this topic in the SPL.

I'm sure Barney has all the info on his site.

Bud,
Here are my window channel brackets after bead blasting and replating. I also bought new stainless steel caged nuts, flat washers, lock washers and screws from McMaster Carr. I'm almost to the point of putting mine back in.

I'm not sure where you can buy them. Try Cecelia at Scarborough Faire.

JL, -- If you could make a sketch with some dimension on it, I would be happy to make a CAD drawing of that part. Looks easy enough to make, just a cut-out with three bends and two welds.
