Could someone please post pics of...

...the install of the Courtesy FSTB driver's side bracket (not the complete circle bracket as shown on their website) and the mods done to the sheet metal of the strut tower? I ACTUALLY USED the search function, and threads do come up, but all of the pertinent links are now dead (from 2+ yrs ago). I assume most everyone has an intake as well, but mine is still stock, so I still have that long black bracket that's mounted in the way. I was going to remove its main mounting tab from the strut tower, then relocate that vacuum diaphragm (if that's what that is). Ideas? Sorry to ask two+ yr old questions...

Similar, but on mine the bracket is not connected between the two outer strut studs/nuts. Otherwise its pretty much a dead ringer, right down to the car's color and the fact that I painted the brackets black. The bar mounting flanges on the bracket look the same too. Is the difference simply in the year of the model? My car is a 2000...
Where was that little vacuum diaphragm relocated on this car?

Correct me if I am wrong, but I believe the ones with the incomplete circles (brackets) are for 95-99.

That's what I thought, but the jacknut at the Courtesy Nissan parts counter told me I was wrong . Oh well, maybe they'll take it back even though I already painted the brackets black If they don't, anyone know someone with a 95-99 that would want it?

Yeah, you definitely have the wrong part if you have to relocate anything.
