You could use the method I use when I fix old iPods. I go on eBay and buy a (complete) broken iPod of the same type; as long as that broken iPod is not broken for the same reason as my broken iPod, I have the part I need. And it usually costs LESS than buying the specific part from a "parts scavenger" business (who just buy used broken iPods and remove working parts to re-sell). The brackets for the hard drive are unlikely to be the reason for an iMac G5 to be broken, so you'll have the part you need plus a bunch of other spare parts that you may need in the future. At this point, it may be easier (and maybe even cheaper) to find a complete non-functional iMac G5 of the same type.
