Good luck finding them, they are special brackets, one attaches at the alternator, the others on the front bolt on the top intake, and one on the air con compressor.
They sell for $100 for the bracket kit at ford, but dont know how many would have them.

Bayford spares in Broadmeadows is selling a brand new cover on e-bay and states that they sell the brackets for $100, so I assume that they must have the brackets.
Here is the e-bay link

The only thing if you don't want to buy from Ford is to take some off a friends car to an engineering place. They may be able to make up cheap replacements close to the shape of the original brackets
