torque arm bracket

as noted in my other thread in this forum im putting a new WC t-5 in my car. here's my sad stupid story about it. when i first blew my NWC t-5 i ended putting a half-assed 79 t-5 out of a cutlass (in the junkyard) i didnt get the bell housing that went for it because the junkyard didnt have it so as any of you who are familiar with the t-5's know that the tranny was now mounted at an angle.....more or less everything was fu**ed up. i didnt have the money at the time to get the tranny i wanted because i was in the middle of driving across the country. So..... after the tranny mount, catalytic converter mount and tranny's torque arm mount were modified to bolt up with the tranny (try not to laugh to hard) well anyways that tranny blew (it already had something like 150,000 miles on it and all i needed it to do was get my the final 1600 miles to california and thankfully it did) and luckly i now have the money for the tranny i want but problem is that the torque arm mount didnt like the extra pressure and ended snapping and finally i need to ask does anyone know where i can get one i checked thirdgenresource i didnt see anything and hawksthirdgenparts only has the mount i need the mount and bracket if you know of any place online that might have it i would greatly appreciate it or if you have any lying around in good condition i would be interested. The only thing left for me to do is drive my girlfriends 92' Tracker (ewwww) down to sacramento because none of the junkyards within a 50 mile radius of me seem to have it. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

That was a T-50.


problem is that the torque arm mount didnt like the extra pressure and ended snapping and finally i need to ask does anyone know where i can get one
Look for people on eBay selling third gen parts. Contact them. "Got a tq. arm?"

There are tonnes of cars junked in Cali. Look around a little more; maybe check the regional board for Cali on here; ask people local to you who might have one.
