Dont let it make you crazy .I think Enzo sells them from" The Finish line " which you can find a link on the web site . Also " Cobra Restorers " Might sell one . Mine came with the car , which I also recomend . Keep us posted , some one I'm sure can weld one up . Basically a bolt welded to a mounting plate for the bottom , and a adjustable arm on top which are available .
I saw a totaly different set up an an all aluminium CS427 where a bracket was bolted to the water pump

No Tim, mine do not look like yours, I'm sure that's my problem. I think I'm going to wait until I go to the show in Carlisle in a few weeks and try to pick up the correct ones there. Thanks for the picture it was a big help.

Hello George
