Question Reputable websites from which to buy outboard parts?

Someone recently pulled a hit and run on my outboard and broke the stern bracket in half on the made-sometime-in-the-90s Nissan NS 8 outboard I inherited when I bought my boat. I need to replace it, but I cannot find any Nissan marine dealers in the Las Vegas area.

Specifically, this is the C-clamp like device that actually clamps to the stern bracket; Nissan calls it the same thing.

Can anyone recommend a good website from which to order outboard parts?

Yeah, I tried 'em; no luck. Are stern brackets universal?

You know what the first rule of sailing is? ...Love. You can learn all the math in the 'verse, but you take
a boat to the sea you don't love, she'll shake you off just as sure as the turning of the worlds. Love keeps
her going when she oughta fall down, tells you she's hurting 'fore she keens. Makes her a home.
