The arm just moves the brake-booster forward so it doesn't hit the inner wing/guard. Basically there isn't enough room to mount it on the firewall direct (as per a Capri). A lot of people ditch them all together and mount the master cylinder direct to the firewall. You just have to shorthen the shaft on your pedal box.
