Master cylinder stopper no fit??

hey guys I bought a  master cylinder stopper off ebay and tried to fit it last night and it doesn't seem to line up with any existing mounting points and doesn't seem to be anywhere near the back of the M/C. I asked them if it fits cars with ABS and they said "should fit". Anyone know where it bolts to in an ABS turbo SW20?? because I'm stumped!! pic attached of what I have.
 

Cheers.

    I don't know how to tell, but surely not...it came from the UK?!

    I've been told MC stoppers are useless for ABS cars anyway?
     
    Not sure why but worth having a look at?

    Mrskyligher - from that photo, that one looks like it is much further away from the M/C than where it appears mine should go. All the ABS crap on mine doesnt make it easier.
     
    dyl - can't see why its useless, not with tyres like mine I hardly ever get it 'kicking in' even under very hard braking.
     
    I just emailed the seller, waiting to hear back.

    From the look of the pic that unit looks like some I have seen advertised  for non ABS cars.
     
    I have a stopper on my '90 model na with ABS, and it actually does slightly firm up the pedal.
    That's only reason that I know for fitting one.
     
    When I originally looked at getting one, it appeared that most available did not fit ABS cars, so I made my own.
    A fairly easy job with no need to drill any holes etc, and wasn't too hard to clear all the ABS pipes.
    It mounts in 3 places. On the 2 side bolts that hold the ABS mounting bracket, and a stay out to the side on the wheel well.

    Thanks guys, I'll have another look tomorrow. I got this reply for the seller too:
    Hi, I am afraid we do not have instructions (it is something we are working on but haven't had an MR2 in the workshop yet)

    There are a few pictures here, do these help?

    http://www.imoc.co.uk/forums/viewtopic.php?t=136783&highlight=brake+stopper

     If there is a problem and they do not fit please let me know and we will refund you and pay for the postage back to us, and we will change the auction.

     Thanks and sorry for any inconvenience
     
    ....and just as I thought, none of the MR2s in that IMOC UK link have ABS!
    duh...

    They do not sell them for ABS cars as they say the ABS will kick in anyway.

    However as i said open the bonnet and work the brake pedal watching the booster and master cylinder flexing the firewall....

    I've got a cusco non-ASB MR2 and that one looks 'almost' exactly the same.
