Lockheed Type 6 Booster Fitment

I no longer have my 1967 SV Alpine, having sold it about 10 years ago. I do however have a friend that still has his 1967 SV, which has sat in various states of restoration for 24 years. As a result, the Girling MkII is toast and he has obtained a Lockheed brake booster (Type 6) and would like me to install it. As the car has now been repainted and gleams in the sun, I am loath to make the first scratch either inside or out. Does anyone have photos of a completed installation of the Lockheed servo? I have the installation instructions, but would like to see how other people have mounted it.

Thanks!

I will send pix when I return home after Easter visit with my son and family.

Here are a couple of photos of mine; it isn't pretty (like the car) but I installed it about 20 years ago and have never had a reason to remove/reinstall/try to improve on my work. Hopefully, it will give you some ideas.

That was all I used to start but it wasn’t enough, leading to the plumbing strap on the back to provide stability.
