Sitting at a red light last night waiting to make my turn and my power steering goes out. I quickly pull into the parking lot to find out what happened. Opened the hood and there was the alternator laying on it's side. I broke some of the casing off the alterntor as well as the top piece of the alternator/power steering pump bracket.

I put over 4K miles on the new motor, so I am not sure if the belt was too small and/or the vibration from the motor?!

I have the serpentine style setup (88-92). Does anyone have this alternator/power steering pump bracket laying around that wants to sell it?

 

That sounds familiar. Try using JB welb on it. If you think it doesn't work PM Synapsis and he'll tell you otherwise.

 

I thought about welding the bracket back together but have decided against it because it will look like crap. I am taking the bracket off the car tonight, so I might hit a junk yard this weekend.

I am going to pass on the JB weld idea. Thanks anyways.

 

Yeah I'm guessing a junkyard would be your best bet. Hope you find one.

 

I just did an engine swap and may still have the bracket attached to my old engine. I wont be able to check until monday. If i have it you are welcome to it.
