Same bolt pattern. I used my manual brackets when I first went with PS. Then when started the resto mod, went with the aftermarket HD bracket.

The OP was asking about the brace, not the bracket.

Oh, so meaning an arm from the PS side frame to the gear box? Forgot about them.
Like this?

Damn they have REALLY gone up since I bought mine. Still don't see why it wouldn't work with manual.
Hope we are talking about the same part now. Is that why it's a trick question?
How do you get the smilies to work?

Yup, trick question
P-side frame to box. It will work with manual or PS box.

I mean it looks like it should work, but the ones from warrior products and M.O.R.E. say power steering only. I was just wondering if anybody had some extra info on that. I guess I'll buy one from somewhere with a decent return policy and update this when I find out!

Technically the sector shaft housing on the manual box is a bit smaller in diameter then the PS box. You can still make the brace work as is, or use a 2 1/2 muffler clamp, or a riser clamp from a big box store.
