Default 2001 Alternator Power Steering Pump Bracket

Hello, All!

About a year or so ago, the stock alternator/ power steering pump bracket broke on my 2001 v6 (it did it on the expressway, thew the serpentine. LOADS of fun at 75mph). My mechanic could not find a new one so I went to Ebay and found one there.
Fast forward to yesterday...
My alternator decided it no longer wanted to and I got to do a little parking lot surgery at Pepboys. I discovered that this new to me bracket is now broken as well. It is broken where the bottom alternator bold goes in. Im still attached at the back of the bracket, but I'd sure feel a whole lot better if I had a bracket that was all in one piece.

It seems that the cast metal that Ford used on these brackets is rubbish. Is there anywhere where i can find a new one that is made of stronger stuff?

Thank you!
