Goto junk yard. I bet one of the bolts broke. Have fun drilling it out. I have not heard of thirds having this particular prob though. You could also try www.car-part.com call some of the places that have the P/S Pump and ask for the bracket not the pump.

yea i have to agree, im 16 but i mean i grew up under the hood of a car, my dad was one of those guys who rarly took his car anywhere to ave it worked on ad i was always helping him with everything, and i payed $500.00 for my car. the interior was horible, it had a bad tranny, bad tires. and a few other minor things but my and my dad put a th700r4 in it, in the driveway, i fixed the interior up and about a week ago i bought a electric buffer and buffed all that oxidation out of it and i mean i know quite abit about that car so i mean im not clueless, i just really hate that guy up at orilys auto. my best friend is restoring a 66' mustang and we are lways up there and he is the same way to him. but when i was like i need a PS pump bracket for my bird he walked over to the aftermarket altenator brackets they have and he was like i guess we dont have any, i thought to myself well no sh** the bracket for my altenator didnt break. persoanally i dont see how that guy got the job there, but anyway.
