Part # for Firebird pass. side headlight mounting bracket?

It was raining and my headlight wouldn't come up. I had to get home, so I tried to pull it up as I have successfully done before. This time, I broke the mounting bracket! Also, the arm that goes from the headlight motor to the headlight isn't attached anymore. I'm not sure if it is broken, I'll have to check again. Does anybody have the part number for the mounting bracket, or one to sell me? Thanks

Click this link, there is a drawing that shows the mounting bracket.

And yes, I do know about the TDS headlight repair kit, and I will be ordering one.

I may have what you are looking for. Your car uses the large headlight correct? (not the one that is the same size as the camaro)

I believe it is a little bigger than the Camaro headlight. My car is an 88 GTA. The later (91-92 I think) Firebirds had smaller headlights. The mounting bracket I need is the large piece that is in the very back of the headlight area. It is bolted to the radiator support. Also, the "arm" that connects the headlight motor to the headlight is broken off of the motor. Does any of this sound familiar to you?

Here is a pic of the radiator support...the headlight bracket attaches to this:

Here is a picture of a headlight motor that shows the arm that I need:

This sucks, my Camaro's fuel pump is dead and now the
GTA's headlight is screwed up

The bracket number can be found digging through the guide in my sig.

The arm and the little rubber 'grommet' thingys that go in it are not available (well.. I should say, the local pontiac dealer did a parts search for them to no avail). Best bet is the j/y or possibly making one.
