So my old fart of a diesel decided to drop the serpentine one night last week.
I hadnt had time to actually look at it till today.
Turns out this homemade bracket snapped where the previous owner(i assume) tried to weld it back togethr once.
I couldnt find the part anywhere because supposedly it isnt made anymore.
So i decided to go to the hardware store and buy some flat bar and just fabricate my own.
A cutting wheel, hammer drill, hammer and anvil, plus about 2 hours going back and forth adjusting fitment and i made myself a nice little replacement.
Rather proud of myself and i doubt ill have to replace this one as its a good bit beefier. If i do though, well i did it once, right?
