where to find vp44 support bracket

I had to bite the bullet and install a VP, only had about 10,000 miles on it and 16 months. The support bracket that goes on the back of the pump is gone! I think that the vp shook itself to death. Where is a good place to find a new bracket.

Cummins has an updated bracket #3938707 Was around $50..
Probably a little more now.

Number should still be good.

Not trying to steal the thread, but I welded the crack on mine when I changed my VP...was this a bad idea?

I've welded a couple when I haven't had a new one handy. It's an acceptable repair, but may break again. The updated bracket is quite a bit different and much stronger.
