I just realized I did't properly reply to your answer earlier. Sounds like I put an advertisement in the wrong section. After this, I'll go back and delete the original.Good save on the power steering pump bracket. At this point it would be wise to all. You will need to fix that broken bracket. they are not getting any easier to find. They are out of the system unless someone has a secret stash somewhere. I thought of asking to get some power steering pump brackets made up at a fabrication shop. But I don't need any and the set up cost on a few would be a killer. I don't feel making them would be a problem. But making a few gets expensive. Good fix. good Luck. I hope you have both the brackets in place on the bottom of the pump. That relieves a lot of that tension.
PS brackets are definitely getting scarce- especially if they're in one piece and functional. After fixing three of my own over the years, I'm seeing ways to beef up the M1008-M1009 PS bracket to minimize the usual fractures. I'd be willing to try the ideas on somebody's broken (and hard to replace) part. This is something I get called on at work to do regularly- determine failure mode, redesign to minimize or eliminate the problem, and document the result. I have a TIG welder and small machine shop at my house, always fixing or tweaking something. Send me an e-mail: bgft@charter.net
