I called PM, and they said that they may have a spare bracket at their facility. If not, then we will see how to move forward.
More interesting yet is that as of Sept. 2019 there is only one limit switch used for all power feed kits. The limit kit bracket (or mounting plate), however, may vary. As such, the customer may need to trim the mounting plate provided.
It would also be very easy to machine a limit switch bracket to the desired specs. This would be a steel plate with six holes in it. One could use the oversized mounting plate provided as a template for these bolt holes.
They also said that the T-nuts should have been tapped, but any T-nuts would work (of course).
I am starting to ask myself why I didn’t just machine the replacement part for the cast aluminum bracket that I broke.
PM also said that not using the limit switch is too risky to consider.
