Interesting. I was not aware of this. I have one of these kits but have never installed it. I'll have to take a closer look.

I had opened up the "fork" of the bracket with a barrel burr and it must have weakened it enough that it finally snapped off. I am planning to weld a washer to the bracket to make it useable again. I am curious as to where the original locations for the ignition key and enricher pull were.

You'd be lucky to a kit nowadays... and I doubt the bracket had its own part no. I'm surprised it failed. I wouldn't have thought there would be that much stress on it. How did it fail?You could also simply move the "choke" back to it's original position and leave the ignition where it is.
Anyway, maybe someone else has actually run into this problem in the past and can be of more help. Please keep us updated. And I will keep my eyes open for the part.
Cheers.
