Wiring harness/vacuum hose bracket on brake booster

[Dino]

I looked on the site but could not find a good picture on how to mount the bracket that holds the vacuum hoses and wiring on top of the brake booster.  How does this thing install?

I don't have a pic but I put one on...You have to remove the booster reinforcement plate to put it on. The wire bracket has a tab that goes into a hole in the reinforcement plate. Then you reinstall it. It was more work than I thought it would be to install... But I like the results.

Thank you gentlemen!   

Can I get away with removing the reinforcement plate nuts and creating some space between plate and firewall to install the bracket, or am I looking at removing a whole lot more?

I recently installed a new bulkhead connector and I still have the column down and the cluster out so I 'think' I should have decent access to the nuts but I've never had to remove them so I'm not sure.

I unbolted the master cylinder from brake booster, left the brake lines connected, supported that assembly across the car with a 1x1 wood stick. Remove the bolts from the booster and plate assembly just enough to get the bracket in. I had to bend that a little too...It was something I wish I would have looked more into before I put in on... thought it would be easier than it was...it was only a wire bracket

Yeah this seems to be a bit more work than I had anticipated.  I just don't have time to tackle more projects, the car's been off the road since August to do what should be a few days work.  I have to put my time in school more than anything else.  The bracket may stay in a box until I restore this thing, years from now.

Hey, I'll take care of your car until you graduate.

Let me think about that for a minute.

I checked it out yesterday and I can get to the 4 nuts alright with the cluster out but the pinch weld lip over the booster will require me to pull the booster out quite a bit before I can get that bracket in place.  It seems like a lot of work just to get the bracket on so I may just leave it off until the car gets restored or if I decide to change the brake system and the booster needs to come off anyway.  With these time constraints I need to pick my battles and this one may not be worth it.  I did get a few hours in working on the car so I finished up my new charging system, yay!  The new 6 ga wire is so stiff I can probably tape everything else to it and it won't move, bracket or not.
