Broken ECU bracket

[mattsouthall]

I noticed this yesterday:



It is the bracket that holds the ECU to something but obviously it is broken. Is this common? Is it possible to get a replacement part, and if so what is the number?

Cheers, Matt

Same happened to me chaps,

I got a piece of metal lying around and made a bit of a bracket out of it, drilled through the broken bit and one side of the rectangular metal bracket i made up bolted through and then used that bolt in the top of the pic on the other side of the bracket. works a treat.

worth a try. mine has started to scratch paint in the bay.

i had this happen on my first 172. Got replacement part and when fitting it i placed a piece of rubber either side of the bracket which stopped it happening again.

Common snag, wouldn't worry about it TBH.

from the stealers but cant remember cost as it was a few years ago now lol.

very common. Can normally sort it well enough with some penny washers, but some brackets are damaged worse so need removing and a new bit welding on.

I think most of them are or have been broken at some time or other.

mine as been like this since i bought my 182 about 10 months ago, gonna weld mine back up, and use a rubber washer, to take the stress out of it,

but yes it looks like its really common,
