Re: Need used manual LH transmission bracket, please!

Thank you to everyone who responded to me. I finally purchased one 
from Walter Coe. (Sorry I lost track of email and ended up sending 
payment late.) :( I want to point out that I discovered as part of 
this that this part seems to have a HIGH FAILURE rate. This 
concerns me greatly. I examined both the LH and RH brackets. The 
LH bracket is of thinner metal than the RH one which may be why it 
breaks. They all may be breaking in the same place at first (near 
the middle hole where the metal is just 1/2" wide). One person 
mentioned that it might be caused by too much play in the rubber 
frame mount, and I found extra play in mine so replaced it. I am 
considering having a new stronger bracket fabricated (if it's not 
too expensive) since with the extra power I have I'm worried this 
new replacement will eventually break as well. CHECK YOUR MANUAL 
FRONT LH TRANSMISSION MOUNTS very carefully because there can easily 
be a small crack that is not easy to see!
