Also, where's an appropriate place to get a replacement? Piper only, or do

cracking, a salvage yard isn't necessary a good place to get one.

You might try Airparts of Lockhaven. If they don't have it, they may
know where to get it. Also, I'm not sure if I'd be too worried about
getting a salvage one. If the replacement isn't cracked, it isn't
cracked. I still have an "old style" bracket, and it's still OK. One
thing you may want to make sure you have is the small bracket that sort
of "straps" the front of the alternator to the front of the starter. This
helps support the alternator. This extra strap was missing on my plane,
so we added it. The main bracket was supporting the alternator without
the extra bracket for an unknown number of years and it still didn't
crack.
