At the time we had a 99 Rocket, i updated it to these brackets, same ones you posted pics of. We were way under powered etc, but that car worked better than the 05 black front end car by a long shot. We were convinced it was possessed by some demons or something.
He said several times, wish we would of kept that 99 car.
As for set ups and books, that's all out of fashion by today's set ups. You would have to find an old Rocket book, i will see if we still have one.
The brackets on the car in the picture are referred to as Rocket 2 brackets. you'll notice the 2 small holes under the word Rocket on them that designates them as Rocket 2's. They have the holes on the radius of the older 5/8 hole brackets. We sell an updated upper shortener bracket that has the holes on the correct spacing and radius so the birdcage is not rotated when moving your upper rod.
Feel free to give us a call if you have any questions.

Thanks for the info. It's a bit odd, because the Rocket set-up manual says a̶n̶y̶t̶h̶i̶n̶g̶ most made after 2008 should have a "Rocket 1" mount.
Not trying to high jack a post but it falls under the same thing ... I have a old rocket chassis (97) just starting out in late models and thes are my lower mounts and upper what would be the starting points on thes

"Cars prior to November 2001 (Identifiable with 1 single long slot cut in bracket between upper rod adjustment holes and lower rod adjustment holes)
