Ok,  spent the last few days digging down to try and repair the deep water Horizon...  (lifter gallery gasket)

 

As I was taking off the the VP,  whoever was there before did not reinstall the rear bracket.  Does anyone have an extra one laying around?  I will buy it if you do.

 

Thanks!

when i replaced my vp, i accidentally bent the bracket and never put it on. that was about 40,000 miles and a engine rebuild ago and no issues. eventually ill get another to install...

Try ebay

I usually think of ebay, but figured this was closer to hen's teeth and never looked.....

Thanks Greg!

I agree it would be a fairly easy one to make.  If you have dimensions....  I still can't believe mine is gone...  grrrrr.

 

Thanks,

Watch out Hag, one of those appears to be bent near flat. Should have a near 90* bend in it.

At least mine does.

There were a couple different ones on ebay

Thanks for the picture Dave.

I would have thought they went into the holes right under the injector lines.  (If i was going to fabricate one that was where I was going.)  But I kinda like the shelf Idea....   I hope i can get it in with the injector pump already installed......

Try these pics. Ebay $50.

Greg,

Thanks,  The black piece is still on my block.  Just the silver part of the bracket.   I ordered one from fleabay.  That should get me going.  Will have to mock it up a bit to see if I can get the injector pump in place and still add that bracket next week.
