After reading this thread I ordered my bracket. And that is all I got, Just a nice black powder coated bracket in a box. No instructions, No bolts, No thank you note, No dirty pictures of someones mom... Nothing.

Is that all I need? I don't need longer bolts or a clue where to put this thing? Everything will work with what I got?

I would say the sensor plug is fairly serious as it probably tells the computer that your brake fluid is low. I would guess the rough running is due to the power brake booster hose being kinked or slightly pulled off. It is the BIG rubber hose that goes to the brake booster (the big black round thing behind where you put the brake fluid just in case you don't know). Check to make sure it is connected properly.

You have everything you need. Just take off the two nuts that hold the master cylinder on, slip the bracket onto the two bolts, and put the nuts back on. Be careful not to break the brake fluid sensor or kink the brake booster vacuum hose.

I thought I popped off a hose and made my jeep run rough, but it turns out the bracket was rubbing on the A/C hose. If theres contact, everything will shake. Just bend the hose out of the way

Nice setup. Has anyone tried this with the $50 (with coupon) Harbor Freight compressor? I was going to order another bracket but for half the price.....

After reading this thread, I ordered a bracket (at $25 the price is right) It arrived within a week. Just need to order a compressor now.
