89yj power steering pump bracket

[mcgrnr0013]

hey i got an 89 yj with the 258 and somehow my powersteering pump bracket cracked and is broken all the way through, its not an adjustable bracket its just a solid one. i was wondering if i could maybe use one from a 4.0 or one from a 4.2 thats adjustable or does it have to be exactly the same. noone around here seems too sell any kind of bracket, please help...

To be honest, I would take the broken bracket to a welding shop and have them weld it up. If they cant then anything that holds the pump in the stock location with the belt running in a straight line with the pulleys, and the pulleys being in line with each other. If the pulleys are angled at all it will wear on the belt, and eventually make it wear out much faster. Hope this helps. John
