    What is supposed to hold it together? Hopes and prayers? You will have to purchase the whole bracket or get something made by the looks.

    The fullstop after 'bolt' should be a comma, or a semicolon would work if that helps?

    Eh? What's going on there. Pin for a reason. The bolt would potentially restrict movement.

    Was the mounting bolt to the fork leg missing too?
