I have one on my Mustang. It blots on using some of the bellhousing bolts. IIRC I got it from Mustangs Unlimited. Any of the parts houses should have them. Its an easy part to find, so get back to work!!!

Yup, I just did the same thing and I found the bracket at Sacramento Mustang in sacramento. He is right, it bolts to the bell housing and works perferctly!!

P.S. What flywheel did you use? I ended up with a 50oz 157 from ford racing and I had a problem with my old clutch pressure plate. It had a differnet bolt pattern than the newer flywheel. Now I am trying to get the linkage to move far enough back to work.Let me know if you have the same problem and how you fixed it.
