V1 Missing Engine Hoist Bracket, What To Do?

[ToothMagician]

As you can see, the passenger side engine hoist bracket is missing.
Any ideas on what to do about if I don't do fabrication?
I don't think I will, but does this bracket get used for the goblin build?

Front bracket mounts here:

Rear bracket mounts here:

If you can't find them in the local boneyard, make some out of 3/16 or thicker plate, drill some holes, and bend to fit as needed.

Wrecker is a great idea, thanks DesertSasqwatch. The weird part is there's no indication of where it mounts up to. There are no boltholes from where it was supposed to be... WTF Mate?? any ideas

Mine didn't have any either so I've used ratchet straps for all my hoist work.

 

[Desert Sasqwatch]

My engine is a LNF. Other engines must have different bracket locations?

 

[ToothMagician]

Ratchet straps I can do, Good suggestion Sluggonaut

Just be sure to get enough wraps around and be safe.

There's what appears to be a banjo bolt in your coolant breather line too, so maybe look into what is going on there.

Wrap it like a mummy, got it. Thanks for the heads-up, Slug

Yeah, I noticed that as well, Dsteinhorst? Any ideas? I think It's for bleeding the system easily, but I don't know why you'd want to bleed a sealed system. Car didn't have coolant in it when I got it, so, maybe the culprit.

If you put your build/donor info in your signature, it'll help you get better answers quicker: link with instructions

I looked back and think you're building an LSJ-T, right? The hoist bracket mounts to the tensioner bracket, and is useful for moving the tensioner pulley to get the belt on and off, but if you're not using the LSJ tensioner, then the missing bracket isn't a problem unless you actually need to use it as a hoist.
