Hi Robin,
That was quick! It's cast for sure, I've assumed to date that it was iron
but frankly the bracket is quite light so not sure now....
I'll check out Pick a Part today!
Cheers,
Patrick

HI Patrick,
Looks like you managed to attach pictures to the mailing list, good job.
Yes this is something that could be welded, is it aluminium or case iron?.
Would probably be simpler though to go to pick-a-part and get another,
assuming it's a reasonably common component.
You say things are a tight squeeze, so will the Aircon & Alternator go
back in the same position?
Or will you require a different mount anyway?
Regards,
Robin

Hi CCC experts,
I'm looking for some expert guidance, I hope one of you can help.
in the process of squeezing our WRX 2.5L T engine into a chassis that
seemingly was built for a 1.3: rotary engine, we were forced to remove the
alternator and air compressor. When we removed the air compressor, my son
and I managed to break a holding bracket where a bolt held it to the engine
block (see pictures of the bracket in pieces, from two difference angles,
and also seemingly whole).
Is this a piece of kit that I could ask someone with welding skills to
fix? Or should I be looking to source a new A/C bracket?
Cheers,
Patrick
