They do look pretty good IMO, Can you not email the seller and ask what the extra bracket is for?

Does that bracket go on the header tank? Looks to be a similar shape to the OEM header tank bracket only a lot thinner.

If it's not for a Subaru then why sell it as part of the Subaru kit? Going by the pictures the fuel rails are a direct bolt fit to the fannimould so I can't see what the bracket can possibly be for

because the fuel rails WILL work on a scoob but the brackets i believe are not for a scoob probably the boy just picked up the wrong ones or packed them wrong , its only a bracket mate just change them / make ur own ones , its not hard a drill and a bit of stainless and bobs your uncle , it could also be that they are for a different year than the seller stated but i cant see that , sureley they would just bolt into place of the old fuel rails ??? im sure they do bolt onto the inlet manifold on classics but not sure about 01 onwards it could just be the brackets there because of the angle that those particular fuel rails sit at is a bit different as the hole centres seem ok ? bit like these but without the spacers ,

try taking the bracket off and then see if they fit ???

the fuel rail brackets come to think of it looking at other cars may be ok but the other bracket i wouldnt worry about until u come to fitting them as u may realise sumthing needs to be moved and more than likely thats what that bracket will be for

The spacing of the holes in the bracket for top load injectors do change. spec C and regular STi are different.

That possbly explains it.
