Where can I get power steering brackets?

Hey guys. I got a quick question. The other day when I did an engine swap, I misplaced my power steering bracket (The one that goes to the exhaust manifold.. see pic below). The brackets from the van power steering pump that the motor came from hit the crossmember, so I can't use that. It really sucks driving this K10 without power steering! Any help would be appreciated in finding a bracket!

Found this pic on here, it is not mine.

Re: Where can I get power steering brackets?

Embrace the manual steering! They are kinda easy as far as manual steer is concerned
Summit may have one for headers and manifolds

This thing's far from easy to steer manually lol. I think I'm getting a workout though, arms are getting sore . I'll check there.

Re: Where can I get power steering brackets?

Alan Grove will hook you up. Just call them and tell em what you want. I switched my alternator from one side to the other and my a/c compressor from where vintage air designed it. Alan grove rescued me from a big head ache. Lots of giys on here have had good luck with them in the past.

That looks like only part of the bracket. Where is the part that goes around the pump?
