First one is the tensioner bracket (take no notice of the crap welding)
Second one shows the temp sender hole. It's the one just under the manifold nut in the picture.

Its like an L shaped braket
You can just see how the L shaped bit overhangs onthe lower bracket to give it strength.

It's the original bracket that I got with the engine, but i had to modify it so I could use the alternator.
It attaches to a lug on the side of the water pump. That's where it was when I picked up the engine.
