Looking for left Alternator bracket for my Bravo

[Airterrys]

This is my first time publishing on this forum, but I have been an avid reader since I brought home my first Mooney, a TLS that I bought from Jimmy a year and a half ago. It went into its second annual with me at TG here in CA and now has a comfy spot on their ramp awaiting an engine overhaul after failing lycoming SI 1560. I thought I had it made when I found a shop that would take it without a 8month-1.5year wait, and was able to find six brand new lycoming bravo cylinders. Turns out the engine was not in good shape and we have been working hard to procure parts. We have hit a roadblock with a badly cracked left alternator bracket with part number #07A19873 printed on the part, Lycoming lists the new number for that bracket as #07A22097. Anybody know where I might find one? I am also standing by for the coveted v-band clamp.

How deep are you into the overhaul? Was it just disassembled? Would you be better off in the long run to get a factory re-man since it includes new accessories, etc?

Pretty deep, engine is torn down and case is out to be reworked, factory reman is as much as 1.5yrs out, hopefully I can get the two parts I need sooner than I could get a factory engine.

I recently went through a Bravo O/H, it took 1 yr, now waiting for landing gear parts. First accident in 43 yrs of flying.

One of the item to be repaired was the alternator bracket, mine was shipped to the welding outfit in ,i believe, Alberta Canada. Someone on the forum will undoubtedly know which one I'm referring to.  It was about 6 wks including customs and shipping.  Price was expensive, but NOTHING compared to a new bracket.

This is probably the shop: https://www.acornwelding.com/?SID=tjadrc4cs7qcmrc6vqf4c4d720

Thanks Lancecasper

YES!  That is the one, their work was impeccable, I highly recommend them.

Thanks, I didn’t think welding a cast piece was acceptable, I will keep it in mind if I can’t find a suitable replacement.
