That support bracket is the one you can see from the front drivers side firewall right of booster near steering column?

Is that from inside or outside the car?
If that’s from the engine bay, I think i have put the steering column seal on back to front.

The insulation is gone I must have been lucky about 3/4hr to get out.
Gave it a hose too.

I noticed that on your MY12, that bracket seems to have a white seal under it? My MY07 didn't.
I have double checked the column seal against eBay photos. Looks like it is in correctly. The MY12 seems to have a better designed seal though. Would have been good to install a better seal on mine.

Would be a good chance to fit up a VF booster and master cylinder, which improved brake feel over VE

Wipe some ranex rust buster over that paintwork, wipe off the surface rust. Maybe give it a spray.
