Default L36 Passenger Side Engine Bracket

My bracket got a hairline crack in it, I'd like one for the same price zzperformance had them.

When mine broke I upgraded to the cast iron mount / coil pack mount found on GTPs and most L67s I believe? A good upgrade that you definitely won't break. Also just a good idea if you plan to mod your Monte If you contact ZZP they may have a few of those that they'd sell for the same price as the aluminum mount.

Are they shaped differently?

I highly recommended the cast iron bracket as well. It will never break and they sale for around $35. Your icm and coil packs will swap right over on it no problem.

01 monte ss if I remember correct wasn't I the 1 that told you about doing this? Glad to see you are!

Trust me.. this is what you need. (it mounts to the side of the engine instead of on top like the little aluminum mount) If you replace with aluminum you risk over-tightening and just breaking it again. If you pick up a cast iron mount like I pictured above, you'll thank me later if you plan on modding or just want that extra security.

And, if Turbo Monte uses the cast iron mount and has no issues, you will most definitely be fine

Yeah but will I have to do anything extra to put it on? My brother got a cast iron one for his series iii and we couldn't figure out how to put it on.
