Yes, it is not only possible, it is EASY. Any repairman worth his salt
should be able to obtain a part (either from Bundy or from any other
maker) and install it, which involves drilling screw holes and then
attaching the bracket. The only caveat is that it costs however the part
coast plus about (proboably) a half-hour's labor.
