if you have snapped the U shape bracket which is a square Fork type mount get one from a scrappy, then press the rubber bush out for a pugsport one (nylon or metal up to you)

Or you might have snapped the mounting part on the shell. You need to show me a pic of what you have done. take it true tec have it up on the ramps again whilst moaning about you breaking it>
