Even though I cannot confirm for sure, from the look of the product photo you included, it looks like the brush guard you have is the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard 45-1170. If that is indeed the grill guard, then the part you need is the Replacement Mounting Kit for Sportsman Grille # 40-117PK.

However, it is important to note that the Westin Sportsman Grille Guard # 45-1170 only fits a 2006 Chevy Avalanche 1500 models without the clad molding option. Westin does not currently make a Sportsman Grille Guard that will fit if you have a 1500 with clad molding or if you have a 2500 model. With that being said, I recommend proceeding with caution when buying grille guards from a second-hand source. Grille guards and the associated mounting hardware are year/make/model specific.
