In dire need of the bracket and bolt that holds down the vacuum pump on my 1981 Rabbit Pickup, 1.6 diesel. Geez, I had the pump rebuilt by students where I teach and everything was fine for bout 3 months and today on the way home my engine oil idiot light came on. When I pulled over to check the situation, the vacuum pump was floating out of it's hole and oil was spewed everywhere. Of course the bracket and bolt are no where to be found. I'll replace the old pump with a new vane type, but I need that bracket. Guess I could make one if I had to but would rather not.
Anyone out there happen to have one laying around? BTW, I'm glad that I make a habit of carrying a few quarts of oil.

I'll check the pile.
I found one for the one I'm working on this morning but didn't look to see if I have 2 spares.
