you only use those to hold the cooler up when you are attaching the pipes. they are not used after everything is connected. weight is supported by the piping and that small side mount connector.

i'd send you mine but i've since cut them up for other projects. you dont need them

I had to keep mine on...otherwise the damn thing would shift. It's too heavy for one mount on the side IMHO

i kept them installed for added support. i installed 3M double sided tape between the cooler and the brackets as a anti chaffe barrier and it also keeps the cooler from shifting.
