Looks to be based off the KGParts Diff brace:

Only install instructions you need are maybe the torque specs when reinstalling. Just don't tighten any of the nuts/bolts down until you're able to thread on the rest of them first.
PS there's a gaping hole in that guy's diff case

^I don't think that is his car, he just bought the brace 
I'd recommend having that brace re-powder coated. I think that is the nastiest one I've ever seen.
Be very (very) careful torquing the hardware that goes to the frame, those suckers are very easy to strip out.... more than half of the FDs I have my hands on have at least once of those stripped.

Ah, I caught that and edited as you posted
I agree with the hardware that goes on the frame, don't force anything on... you'd think the threads there would be a bit more robust.

My mounting bolts have been modified to hold SAE course threaded bolts. I stripped one out without even trying. I figured if my sissy hands with a socket and a driver could do that, no way it would hold clutch drops.
I think this guys brace worked too good. Holy crap!
