Default Need bracket that’s out of production

The part number is14103108. It’s a small bracket that connects from the back of the power steering pump to the block. I’ve been looking around online seems the only place I’ll find one is a junkyard or someone parting out their truck. Btw it’s to an 89 454 suburban, any help is appreciated. Thanks 👍🏻

That is an odd ball part , let's face it.
You may even have a problem at a salvage yard.

Can we inquire why you are looking for this bracket?

Yes, this part was missing when I bought the truck. I soon noticed the power steering pump pulley was out of alignment with the other pulleys. Which causes damage to the serpentine belt. My mechanic straightened and welded the main accessory bracket and fabricated this small bracket. Within 100 miles the belt was already getting damaged. I bought a new main bracket but my mechanic is unwilling to install it saying it will just get bent like the old one and the whole belt issue will reoccur. Even with the small bracket he made he is still unwilling to do the job without the factory bracket

Many times the same bracket is used on different models and years.
Only a GM parts Dept can tell you which other models use the same bracket and that might make it easier to find one.

Find a good machinist and he will be able to fabricate one that works.

Ok guys, found one. It was at a place called pk smith in Louisiana. Somehow my mechanic told me he heard they had one and they did but only one and aren’t getting anymore. Guess I lucked out. Thanks for all the help guys👍🏻
