Default 69-76 automatic transmission lock cable bracket

I need the trans lock out cable bracket that bolts to the transmission (turbo 400), not the one that goes on the firewall. Does anybody reproduce them or are there any used part vendors that have one? Any help would be appreciated. Thanks!

That one is for a stick shift trans, I need one for an automatic (turbo 400). Everybody seems to have one for sale for a stick shift trans but nobody seems to have one for the automatic.

My thinking was that other models might use the same bracket.
Don't tell them it's for a Corvette, just tell them it's for an old chevy with a 350 engine and a turbo 400.

The price goes up if you say Corvette!

Wrong bracket. That one is for the shifter cable, I need the one for the lock out cable.

This is not the same material as OEM but looks like it would work. One of these days I might find that out, if I decide to install another cable on my '72 with TH400. This is sheet metal and the OEM is pig or mag or something like that, and machined.... I did find a couple of OEM style new for about $60.00

SORRY, I WAS MISTAKEN! THIS IS THE WRONG CABLE BRACKET, THIS ONE CONNECTS TO THE CABLE COMING FROM THE SHIFTER, NOT THE TRANSMISSION LOCK CABLE. MY BAD! GLAD YOU FOUND A BRACKET GREEK!
