Abstract
A support bracket for mounting an engine component to a surface, such as to a cylinder head or engine block. In an embodiment, the support bracket includes a base member, a shelf member and a spacer. The base member has a back portion with a shape that defines a forwardly facing channel. The spacer is shaped to be matably received in the channel, optimizing load distribution between the spacer and the base member. A bolt hole extends through the spacer and is aligned with a bolt hole in the base member. The shelf member is welded to the base member to permanently capture the spacer in the channel. Welding the spacer is unnecessary. The spacer may be made of powdered metal. The spacer provides a free length portion of the capscrew that mounts the bracket against a surface, the free length accommodating longitudinal stress on the capscrew.
