Once you've got all the original bits of your car unbolted and temporarily out of the way you'll see all the bolt holes you need to use and it will become self explanatory.
The above photo's are definitely a big help though.
Easy when you know how, really!

How do you know how tight to go. Mine`s on (tw@t of a job and the bottom bolt on the small bit is totally inaccessible) but I`m unsure how tight it should be. Looking at the pics, there`s quite a lot of thread showing on the cylinder side....that seems very tight 
Just noticed from the pic that only one of the `lock nuts` has been used...that`ll make a difference to how much thread is showing!

That was a waste of time. I started to tighten it against the cylinder and the bloody bolts which hold the stopper the the bodywork just pulled straight through the rubbers 
I need to source some sort of `penny` washers now so I can refit it. Wish I hadn`t bothered now

All the bolts holding the bracket to the strut should be tight as poss. The actual thread and red stopper that pushes on the end of the master cylinder should only be tight enough to stop it turning. Don't want to over tighten that bit as you could damage master cylinder!

If it makes little or no difference after all that....I won`t be a happy bunny 
I must have been overtightening for the bolts to pull through

^^ That's quite funny...
I fitted one of these recently and have noticed an improvement in pedal feel. I had HEL lines installed before this was fitted and while the lines improved pedal feel a bit, the brake stopper improved the pedal feel more IMO. It was part of a larger brake upgrade involving replacement disks and pads all round and painting the callipers while they were off, which was an ideal time to swap the lines out and change the fluid for 5.1 stuff.
It is a bit tricky to fit, I remember questioning its parentals more than once, but I'm glad I did. I agree about the bolts and the rubber grommets though and fitted washers to mine to help.
