Master cylinder mounting brackets

Post by alaskan9974 »

My right side brackets broke on the 170, where the master cylinder bolts to the tunnel. I show 0411549 and 0411550 as the replacement, I see reports of either aluminum or steel, but they have the same p/n. Anyone bend these from .040 steel or similar? My bracket is in pieces unfortunately.

I fabricated brackets out of SS sheet about 35 years ago, just used the broken one as a pattern. Still going strong.
