Abstract

A bracket made of an aluminum alloy for fixing an elastic mount to one of two members to be elastically connected to each other through the elastic mount interposed therebetween. The bracket is formed by extrusion, and has at least one aperture formed therethrough so as to extend in the direction of extrusion. A first succession of recessed and raised portions are formed on at least a part of a fixing surface that is fixable to the elastic mount, and a second succession of recessed and raised portions are formed on at least a part of an exposed surface thereof which is exposed to the atmosphere upon fixing of the bracket to the elastic mount. The recessed and raised portions extend in the direction of extrusion, and are formed alternately in a direction perpendicular to the direction of extension.
