Dan,

If you have the 7" booster already, you will notice some threaded holes on the
side of the hydraulics.  A simple "L" bracket is used to fasten to the flat 
welded
brace between the firewall and the fender (NOT the round bolted brace), but 
short
and about 8" below the fender line.

A 5" booster uses a right angle bracket that takes two of the hydraulic unit 
bolt
locations and one bolt to the brace.  The 7" must have the bracket bent at 
about a
45 degree angle.  It is a really tight fit.  I found the "banjo" fitting is NOT
compatible with this installation, from a room problem, and the bent tube shown 
on
some of the Mk II pictures will allow vacuum connection without hassle.
