Default Broken PCM bracket fix

I have a 96 and the bracket/stud that holds it to the firewall has broken off. I cant see that there are any screws or bolts holding this plate on. Its right where the brake booster attaches so I would have to remove all that but I have not been able to locate this part. Has anyone had to deal with this? it's looking like my only option will be to fabricate something. hopefully a little better then the zip ties I have on there now. Thanks

I got mine from the parts area of this website. You have to take booster off firewall. I have the ZR1 booster and it has a different arc to it than single reservoir booster so I had to shim bottom with washers to match ZR1 booster plate/bracket.

so then it is like a plate with the stud on it that attaches to the fire wall. how does it attach, bolted or rivet. I just cant see the attachment point because the booster is in the way. if anyone knows of a source or has one please let me know. Thanks

The booster bolts are what hold the bracket.
