[T2] My brake booster came with a surprise inside?

[greg at pottsfamily.ca]

But... if the booster was originally equipped it is NOT a simple matter
to go without it, since it is integral to the linkage between the pedal
and the master cylinder. 

I've driven a bus with disc brakes and a non-functional brake booster,
it's not necessarily a show-stopper but I'd much rather accept the
complexity of this subsystem as a necessary evil. 

Just need to know where the clip goes... or if I need a new booster.
