Any Advice? Random Bracket Replacement

Greetings all.

I found a broken 1/4" (+/-) steel bracket today.  The bracket supports the tubing immediately leaving the CAC after the first boot on the way up to the turbo.  The bracket is attached to the frame of the coach.  It has two screws fastening it into the frame- and connects to the tubing by utilizing a heavy duty clamp similar to the boot clamps.  As of right now, the tubing is floating without any support.  I need to find a replacement.

Is this a part easiest to get made up at a fabrication shop or are these random pieces available from the Foretravel parts department?

I am going to call Foretravel tomorrow morning but was wondering how the experienced owners would handle this.  I do not need to get this fixed for a couple of weeks. 

Thanks for any help.

FT.

Thanks for the reply.

I can always make something work.  I just wanted to know if most would do that, or look to purchase a "proper" replacement part. 

Hope you are having a good time with your coach.

Update-

I case anyone is curious, Foretravel looked it up and shipped it out. 

My coach will maintain it's authentic vibe.

(Kind of apprehensive. Was way to easy)

I would have sent my old one to Scott for a free replacement less shipping.

Now that is why I asked the question.  You can't beat experience.  I should have waited for a couple of more replies.

I kinda am having a USPS shipping issue for the first time in my life. Shipped some stuff out last month 2 day priority and today the Post Master General told me with a straight face it can take up to thirty days do deliver 2 day priority shipped items. Blaming Chovid19 and the season. I couldn't believe him. Said if I had shipped Priority Express cost would of been 75$ no recourse but to ship elsewhere. This is unbelievable. Think I feel better venting. Thanks. Hope you have a good Xmas
