Steering Pump Bracket Source

[donalloy1]

The notorious Power Steering Pump Bracket has failed on M1009. Have been told many times to watch for it. Well Sunday was my day. Searching for OEM replacement and so far Goose Eggs!

Do any SSer's have a source that I can tap into? Existing has salvage potential, but would rather get one that has has not been repaired.

As always your assistance is greatly appreciated. DMLII sends respectfully

Used is the only option. See if Hawkman has any.

Also check the Vendor forum . There is a new member that has Cucv parts for sale.

If it's the top bolt tab, you can weld it from both sides, I did and it lasted for a while. Then the slide adjuster under the alt snapped and I found a junkyard bracket off an 82 C code motor. Check out local yards, should be no problem finding one.

It is the top tab. Maint. Chief is running VIN through part system. Should know more today. Have a feeling will be testing my welding skill today. No problem. We will make bullet proof as possible!

If any other low lying fruit comes to mind please share. Thanks, DMLII sends....

The bracket is not available from GM anymore. Best thing to do is remove it and weld the tab back on. You also might want to add a light guage 'backer' when your welding it, make it stronger. I've had to do this before, not fun!

Good Luck!

If repair is the only option untill you find another bracket, weld gussets- triangles on both outer sides of the top tab. This way there is enough clearence to get a socket on the stud. As far as the slide adjuster goes, if it is split or broken beyond repair, cut it off the bracket and use it as a pattern to fab a new one. Trace the radius of the slide inside and out and transfer this to some 1/4 in flat stock. Drill holes so they overlap. Remove the remaining materal with a die grinder or wizz wheel. Weld the new slide back on the bracket. All this can be done with the pump on the bracket. Not a lot of work, just a PITA.

Repaired existing bracket by welding top tab back in place. Should hold me for a while +/-. She sounds much better now also. Probably been broken/damaged since purchased? NEVER been this quiet! Still need to contact Hawkman. Would really like a spare. DMLII sends.....

Hang tight, I have other resorces. I'll find one. PM sent.

This happened on mine and I had a shop weld it back together (top tab). The weld bead interferes with the socket's clearance, so it's a real PITA to get the thing down tight. Every couple months it backs off a bit and I go looking for that horrible rattling sound... only to find the same thing every time. Loctite helps

Use a socket-head bolt. Tightens right up with hex key on a ratchet.
