Power Steering Pump Bracket Woes

[John M Brauninger <flightsweep@xxxxxxxx>]

A couple of my early 60s cars have a wobbly power steering pumps with the
pulleys cocked off center.  (Note: this is not a problem with the rubber
snubber).

Taking the "hinge" apart on both pumps I found the bolt at the bottom of
the hinge is worn down and the bolt holes are oblong.   This gives a lot
of side-to-side play.  I did a quick fix by inserting a thin washer
between the two hinge pieces near the bolt head to take up some of the
play.  A long run fix is to replace the bolt (does anyone know where I
can get these?) and I guess use some kind of insert to restore the
correct diameter holes in the hinge pieces.  

Has anyone else had the same problem and come up with other fixes?

Thanks, John B.
