The two big saddle shaped clamp pieces bolt onto the top of the shock struts behind the carpeting, and the two smaller 'U's bolt to them on top of the carpet, then the bar sits in the 'U' clamps.

I think I have a manual somewhere, if you can't figure it by tomorrow, drop me a pm.

That is bracket A which most sellers forget to remove when they sell the kit. I also do not think you can buy that part by itself. Your only option is the find the person you got the kit from or fab them yourself. By the way here is a LINK to the manual
