Power Steering fitting question

[turbocharged23]

Alright I feel like I have a pretty specific issue here, I've done my searching and haven't found much, first post in a while so try to not flame me too much.

The mechanic who fixed my car decided to use copper piping and solder the pieces together on my power steering pump. Of course this metal bracket broke (see picture) and I have no idea where to find a specific part like this.

A new power steering pump does not come with this bolted on bracket/fitting (at least from what I've seen), and the return hose also does not include this part.

Any ideas on where to find it, where to look, or a quick fix??

Not even really sure what to call this part that broke, but any help is greatly appreciated.

Thanks.

I am astounded that any self respecting mechanic would do such a thing, that is just ridiculously silly and could have causes one hell of a fire in the engine bay, forgetting the mess the oil would cause. You need to just replace the entire hose to fix this properly. Try a junk yard, power steering hoses generally last a very long time, just look the hose over before you pull it off the donor car for any signs of leakage.

Edit: Im not terribly familiar with 2G cars, but that looks like the pressure side to me, not the return side. Correct me if I am wrong. If its the return side, just go to the junk yard and pull the bracket fitting. If it is indeed the pressure side, you will need the entire hose assembly from pump to rack.

Yeah it was quite a mess... worked for a while then broke off clean.

That's what I ended up doing today, totally forgot about the good ol' junkyards. Couldn't get just that little fitting though, ended up buying a new pump with the fitting already attached (better than nothing). But I believe that's the return, the pressure is a much thicker and attaches at the top.

Thanks for the insight though, I really appreciate it!
