Rear Brake Wiring Support Bracket 06.0693

The bottom bolt of the three that hold the left footrest on to the "Z" plate. The bracket sort of points forwards.

They don't look like they fit anywhere!

It goes on the bottom stud. I put washers behind it so that it sites flat. You could also grind it to fit the depression in the foot peg, but then it would rust for sure.

Yup, it needs a washer behind it else it crushes into the footrest depression.
And you have to hold it while tightening the nut else it rotates and will hit the primary case.

While mucking about in that area, I hope you take it upon yourself to install the safety spring on the brake lever?

A big 10-4 on that. It also helps open the brake light switch. Before using the spring I had to lift the brake pedal up with my toe to be sure the light went off.

Is the additional spring required when using Mr Maddas rear sets

If you read the thread I linked, I believe there was a post from someone with rearsets saying he put the safety spring on as well...though not sure if these were the Madass kit. Basically, you need to check what can happen if the cable were to fail...does the lever flop down to the road surface (or close when leaned over in a turn etc)? If so, the spring will help. Others have used rubber strap (inner tube) to act as an alternative failsafe device. I'm of the belief a hard stop could/should be made on the lever to prevent the issue.
