I believe I used the short one on my Daytona, I'll double check. It doesn't screw into anything. The end fits in a slot on the backing plate on the firewall.

The length depends if you have powered or manual brakes. The longer one goes to the power cars due to it having to reach up over the booster. They aren't screwed in, they fit into a slot on the back of the backing plate...

OK, thank you, then I need the long one.  How about paint, was it painted with the booster or was it added on later with the natural finish shown??

Should be natural, not painted.........

Great, thank you.  Always know I can depend on you, Troy, when I have a Daytona question up! :cheers:

No problem..... The obvious end of the bracket fits into the slot and when the bracket is positioned into its final orientation, the other tabs places pressure of the plate so it doesn't move. MAKE SURE you position the bracket's end into the slot of the backing plate BEFORE you tighten it all the way.
