Just found a "split" on the metal of the Rectifier Mount/Bracket.
It looks like the exposed part of the bolt on top of the front engine mount has done the damage. Is this common?. Advice re. weld or renew.
Also...cant find any trace of rubber grommets on the Mount/Bracket bolt holes.
Should there be any in the bolt holes.? Bungo

 

weld it, has to be cheaper than a new bracket

 

Hi Ken, Will have to weld it anyway as the part is no longer available.
According to Harley UK there are none in Europe and only 2 listed for sale in all USA.
When it "snapped" a piece broke off and is missing which is why I thought new mount would be better than weld.. I will just have a plate fabricated and welded on to top of mount. Bungo
