I agree with you that the bracket can be welded but There are two parts to weld
and the engine bracket and the AC compressor bracket also the bushing must
replaced due to extensive wear. With that, welding will be very time consuming,
it maybe more time effective just to buy the brackets and end the problem. And
maybe not for long the current bracket lasted 55K mile not bad for planned
obsolescence.

See you at OSH and again thank you for the help.

If so, I would consider welding the egg-shaped area partially closed and
re-drilling the hole. You may also be able to drill out the hole and use a
bronze bushing to re-size the opening correctly. You may also be able to
re-drill the upper bracket and install bushings to correct the problem. I helped
Bill Tarrier work on his last week and can see where it's tough to properly
tension/tighten the compressor.
