I assume part of it secures under the front strut brace (if you have one fitted) or on the top mount bolts 
Then another piece comes down and secures the brake bits
Well that's what others on fleabay seem to fit !!

just got in from dry fitting mine, and i have few bits of advice.
On every screw hole our going to use, especially the two supporting the little piece, on the strut column, use one of the bolts to re-tap it as it wouldn't have been used since it was painted.
The same goes for the stopper its self, it has two welded nuts, that have been powder coated, use one of the bolts to re-tap this as well.
Mount the little piece first, lightly bolt the little piece and lager stopper together, don't get close to tightening it.
attached the boost solenoid cover with the bolts supplied sandwiching the stopper between the cover and the strut column. This is a tight fit, and i suggest maybe re-manufacture with oval holes, instead of circles.
I will be filing mine out, as i wasn't happy with the angle the bolts are forced into. Putting undo stress on the column and epically the mounting points.

I think the instructions will help now as the tightness is resolved with the four washers
With the paint in the threads - this is front the powder coating. Its easy enough to remove

Now stripped, primed and re-sprayed, I'v just installed it and im impressed.
After putting in some uprated discs and pads, i like a few owners, noticed a spongy, soft feeling pedal. Now iv got the brake stopper in, its more of a solid feel. Very impressed.
Thought id add a few pics to show off the red...btw, the 2 washers really did help with the tightness on the dry-fit. (that sounds a touch wrong that does..lol..

road driving not really because the pedal doesn't tend to go beyond 50%. When braking hard though, it is firmer. I haven't tried track use yet, but thats where it will shine!
