Default Trailer Wiring Harness Bracket

The bracket on my 7pin trailer harness has rusted out. It's currently being held on by a bungee cord. Can I replace just the mounting bracket, or do I have to replace the entire harness? Here's a pic of something along the lines of what I am looking for.

you can replace just the bracket if you so choose i wouldn't replace the harness unless its corroded up through the wires they make replacement parts thru different manufactures sort of like a uni kit to repair harnesses

Any idea on where to find the bracket? I've tried a couple auto part stores, but they only sell the whole package with the harness.

Why would you replace that? If you off road your plug in will be dangling again in no time.

On my old truck used a hole saw and cut out one of my license plate lights and put it there. Worked great.

My dual exhaust pipes would get pinched as well. I don't off road much, or hardcore, so it's not really an issue.

Thank you, I have to take a look at my harness to make sure it will mount up to that bracket.

That bracket is simple to make if you can do any kind of metal work!
