Since I got no response from the below posting, I'm now starting to email 
possible sources beyond the list sponsors.  However, as an alternative to 
getting a replacement bracket, can someone who knows what the stock 
bracket is like (I haven't opened the 2300 up yet, I'm only working from 
manuals/diagrams so far) let me know if I can just drill new mounting 
holes in the original bracket?
