[Mgs] MGA generator bracket failure

[Barney Gaylord]

If it was an aluminum body water pump that failure is common.  I 
broke two of those myself in 1997.  Kind of suprised the rear bracket 
broke.  If it was an iron body water pump I'm way more suprised, as I 
have never heard of one of those breaking like that.
