Need AC brackets 72 Slant Six Valiant

Heck I'd just take it off and (if you doin't have a MIG welder that is) run it down to the welders shop and have them weld it and re-inforce that bolt hole by adding it a washer or thicker metal piece) on the front so it doesn't interfere with the compressor and use a longer bolt with a washer to lock things down. you have tons of clearance in front of the bracket.

That is a very good idea but it's the wife's driver and I don't want that much down time. Also, it's a real common piece. What you suggest could be effective on the new one:to reinforce the bracket before it breaks. Anyway, I appreciate all the feedback. Keep looking in your parts boxes!
