Help needed DTE Trans brace install

I bought a used DTE transmission and differential brace off of the for sale section here. But the seller did not have the installation instructions. I assumed they would be easy to find online but unfortunately I can't find them. I've searched Google and here and all I've found are broken links. Does anybody have some installation instructions they can send me a copy of? Or know where I can find them online? My car is an 05 base manual transmission. Thanks in advance.

Try this video...

Another option would be to call them or one of their suppliers... Here's the first one I found with a Google search.

I hope you plan on installing with the driveline out of the car - it will save you a ton of time and 4 letter words. if not, put band-aids on your knuckles now...

You can look at the ECS brace instructions since they will be 99% the same.

My point is don't feel like that brace will keep the diff from splitting. It may or may not prolong it but it also may give you false confidence. If you have any power adders it's to your advantage to replace it while you still have a core value...once broken it's junk.

This is what you end up with.
