Default '65 Bonneville/Catalina brake booster hose bracket

Just got my order from Ames and with among all other parts came new vaccuum hose (metal and rubber)for the brake booster. Original Carter so ordered the steel pipe from the back of the carb and rubber hose to booster. I seem to have the original bracket on the manifold but can't get my head around how the whole lot is attached to the bracket.

I see vague photos that it is somehow clamped to the bracket but..

Would someone have or willing to take a photo how the vaccuum metal pipe and rubber hose are attached of fastened to the bracket?

Well, I figured this out by myself and the verdict is that the power brake line is not even close to original. It fits the vaccuum fitting behind the carb but that's pretty much it. I can get the rubber hose from the booster connected to it but I was going for the original look and route here so must find some aluminium tube and bend it properly myself.
