Snapped engine bracket ground attachment

Snapped engine bracket ground attachment
Last night I replaced by belt tensioner and had to remove the upper engine mount bracket (cast aluminum piece). Upon reinstalling the ground strap, the mount on the bracket snapped. I temporarily attached the ground to one of the supercharger mounting bolts. Is there a good repair, short of buying a new bracket? Or, is there a better alternate location to mount the ground strap to the engine?

You would have to make sure its connected and flat/clean. You Might be able to drill out a small hole on that mount and then use a solid bolt with a nut on the other end so it will not walk out.

BTW - I bought the car a week and half ago and I'm already have three orders from you trying to get the car sorted! I'm now working on my fourth order as I uncover more things (and I'm still in the engine bay)...
