I don't know if it will solve your problem, never having experience with a bracket, but you can easily make your motor a 25". Just order the kit from Suzuki. It is a simple install. A 5"extension for the lower leg housing, a 5" longer driveshaft and a 5" extension for the shift linkage. We used to do it all the time. I don't know current prices but I am sure the kits are a lot lower cost than replacing the whole lower unit,even with a used one. Maybe the installing dealer would give you something for the 20" drive shaft you are taking out.
