Don't know. I got my car from Florida and there are many little things wrong with it. The clutch pedal is really heavy and does not pull back all the way, kinda drags. So I poked my head down there and saw that the bracket was broken, it still functions but want to replace it. Here are a couple pics of my car. It is in the shop getting the bugs worked out of it.

That looks really nice
I have a hard time believe ( which I can see ) that people let the cars go to the junk side
Fix it,as I breaks,that's what do, just as you are doing

Thanks. The problem is I did not buy it to fix it up I wanted a solid body that was a good driver. That's what they told me when I called and talked to them. ( got it from a dealer on ebay) Got the car delivered bought it be fore Thanksgiving and took them almost 5 weeks to get here. By then the weather change and we had snow and cold here (near Minneapolis)
The car would not start had to pull it off the trailer with my metro. could barely push it by hand (2 of us) There was slush in the radiator.
Had to take hose's off and put in a inline heater to keep it from freezing, gas line frozen would start with stating fluid then die right away. They posted about 25 pictures of the car but the angles where so that you could not see things wrong with it unless you knew about them. I knew I wasn't buying a perfect car but I didn't expect to be dumping this much money in to it.
The shop has it now running well , starts right up but still a couple of bugs that are being worked out. Putting in new radiator w/fan ,hoses, W-pump, plug wires (they had a miss matched set on it) But it's getting there, cant wait to get it back.

Sounds exactly like my experience getting mine. Bought off ebay. "Good running car". When we got it didn't start and had to push it in the garage. Also didn't help that the only ignition key was almost broke in half. Thank god a local locksmith was able to make a new one. Fun memories for sure! :D

FUN Imported Auto and Toys would be a good place to look for somewhat obscure parts like that. I was missing the plate that attaches the spring underneath the dash to the brake pedal and he had one.
