Default Alternator flange issues

I replaced the alternator a few months ago. Had one hell of a time loosening that bolt. Well it seems that the flange that held it has fractured. How screwed am I?

Try DCAuto, the have used ones for the first part number listed starting at $75, not sure of the part number for the bracket shown in the second picture.

For brackets like these and similar paths it is silly to buy new ones at new prices.

I just had to replace two rear suspension sub frames doe to breaking off corroded bolts in them. Porsche list these for $1,923@, discounted to about $1,450. I bought two of them on $60@ on eBay and they were in fine shape.

Pretty sure I still have that bracket from my '00 parts engine. If it would be useful, send me a private message.
