'88 FLHTC tour pak bracket

I need HELP! I have an '88 FLHTC and noticed the bracket for top hard bag broke at the welds underneath the bag. The ear piercing metal to metal squeaking is driving me nuts! I've scoured the internet for a replacement bracket but cannot find one for this year. Will a newer model fit? Or does anyone know where I can find a used one for sell?

Thank you all for your thoughts!

It's a long shot I know, but have you tried a dealer as a source? If not, why not have it welded.

You might find someone with what you are looking for in the Evo group

I did try the local dealer and they couldn't find one. My last option was going to re-weld it but wanted to replace it completely if going through the trouble. Thanks for the reply's

if you have it welded, remove it from the bike.

arc welding anything on a bike can fry the ignition module.

If you saw the show "Long Way Round" you'll remember the scene in Siberia where the subframe broke, they had a local weld it up ...and fried the electronics.
