Mounting Brackets - Power Running Boards

Due to an unfortunate event earlier today, I lost the driver side power running board on my Ram, both brackets snapped off. The board itself is intact and I would need the mounting brackets + pins only (set of 2). Is there a way to purchase just the brackets and the pins or do I need to purchase a full running board kit?

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

Thanks @billhansen! I ended up changing the whole left side assembly. I needed both hinges and that came to about $500, the one with the motor is roughly around $320 discounted. The whole board assembly was $636 including tax in michigan. The install was super easy, took my mechanic about 5 minutes.
Look at it on the bright side. Now you have a spare motor. ;)

No I dont, one of the brackets comes with the motor as one piece and in my case both were broken and useless, unless I welded them back together. Even then I would still be missing the pins that hold the bracket together.... I do have an extra board however, and that I will sell on craigslist locally.

I have this exact same issue with my 2021 (and I really like the way it was worded - so I adopt that explanation as well)
I was wondering if anything has changed in the last 30+ months.
I don't need the entire "hinge" piece - I simply need the brackets that attach the hinges to the board itself... If anyone has learned anything new I would appreciate the insight.
Otherwise, if I'm destined toe the same fate as Turaco - if anyone has suggestions on the most cost effective way to acquire the board assembly - I'd appreciate that info as well
Thanks!
