Question Where do I get this bracket?

Anyone know where to get this return line bracket on the water neck?

I doubt that you'll find a repo on this part,but it looks like it wouldn't be that difficult to make one yourself.

Get out your tape measure,tin snips & drill. It's just lightgage & should be FUN to make one up.

You MIGHT try a refrigeration (contractors) supply.

Sometimes you have to improvise.........
Go to the hardware store and obtain a rubber insulated tube bracket. To best descibe, they look just like the one on the car but have the rubber wrapped around the tube pass through.
Remove the rubber and the thing will look very similar to that factory piece.

That bracket must be first thing to be pitched when someone works on the cooling system. I need one too.

Or maybe a fuel line bracket that bolts to the frame is close?

by the time you find someone who has such and wants $5 each plus shipping, you could make one and come out ahead. This stuff will eat your lunch.

The one on my TA engine broke years back so I made one out of small dimension strap aluminum. It took 10-15 minutes.

go to the hardware store and buy a rubber insulated tube/hose bracket (looks like a lower case "d") and peel the rubber off of it and you'll have your piece.
