[TR] TR3A Alternator Conversion -- Brackets Cracking

I've done the alternator conversion with the Delco 7127 GM alternator, which is 
common for this conversion.  All is well with the electricals.  However, 
vibrations from the engine/alternator have just cracked my second upper 
bracket, the one that attaches to the water pump.  I've used the generator 
bracket, then a Toyota Tercel bracket, using shims at the waterpump to line up 
the pulleys.  (The bottom of the bracket is tightly cinched down to the engine 
plate.)
Has anyone designed a better bracket for this?
