Two 8.8 mm bolts holding the rectangular box to the engine were the only thing keeping it from dropping off. I loosened the bolts and removed the bracket in two pieces. The .080 steel bracket would have been stout enough, but the bolted flanges were cut square and cracks began there. I removed the safety wire and electric connections and took the bracket home. I remade an .080 bracket that has no corners or sharp edges. I put some high temp silver paint on it and hung it out for reassembly tomorrow. I think I'm probably the 10th person that has had this bracket crack in this way. Time to look carefully at yours, especially if you have but one ignition.
