Default Metal bracket supporting brake fluid reservoir RHD S4

Normally I take lots and lots of photos. This time I didn’t. And of course I am stumped. Do the RHD cars even come with this bracket. Trouble is I have both LHD and RHD 928s. So this bracket can be missing from my LHD race car for example. Anyway, can anyone with a RHD Porsche, preferably an S4, on the list chime in and even better post a picture. I spent an hour trying to solve this “Rubic” cube and I am none the wiser. My GTS 5spd is in storage due to COVID and I cannot look at it.

Thanks in advance,

Alex

Educated guess - reservoir is 928 355 650 06 - no RHD 927 number so the same reservoir is used LHD & RHD. Reservoir is just orientated so that the filler is engine side.
Bracket is 928 365 654 03 so I am sure it is used on both LHD & RHD to support the reservoir.
My SE is in storage so I cannot go and look - sorry.

Hi Roger,

Funny you should mention your SE - Phil responded with a picture and so did Simon Watson. The reality is that Porsche bodged it. While on LHD cars the reservoir is secured by the two tabs on the bracket and the bracket itself sits securely and horizontally on the two bolts coming from the brake servo, on RHD the reservoir is secured only by one tab, while the other is hidden under the inlet for the reservoir. Another RHD bodge - the same as the crap sheet metal pressed clutch pedal vs. the beautiful magnesium casting for the LHD equivalent. And don't get me started on power steering pipes routing...
