Yes, some things can be really confusing. I found that out recently in pursuit of a decent rear brake hose. Unless you know it's from an educated source, you cannot take any info. for granted. That and a loss in translation.........That's the "beauty" of the internet.

See that 3rd picture you offered above? Do a 180 with the tape measure for the width. I'm guessing it's around 2.5".

I suspect yours is the GM part they referred to per that link, post 14 and 21. You might plug these numbers into Ebay, these may be what you've got: EDITED: Bracket: 15996772 Bottle: 15687277
