2000 alternator conv

Working on a 3cyl 2000 for a friend. Can someone post a picture of how they installed an alternator to replace generator? Whomever did this conversion hosed it bad and I"m tasked with repairing.
 
here is mine but I did not do it. I bought it from p/o and it came that way.

More specifically, can someone send a pic of the top mount setup? The person that did the one I"m working on welded a bolt to the cross support rod and it"s broken loose (no surprise there). Just in case it matters, this is a 2000D. Thanks!
 
I will try to get photo tomorrow. Basically someone cobbled on an alternator using the generator lower bracket and welded a bolt to the rod that runs across the top of the motor and put a generic bracket on it that has broken loose due to vibration
 
I always use the lower gen pivot... BUT.... I turn it end for end and then I grind the single bolt hole into a slot right back to the bend so that the alt can slide ahead more.
For the top bracket I usually just fit the alt in place with the belt on... then push the old top bracket up to an appropriate height... then get a piece of 1x1/4" flat bar and fit it up in a lap joint so that it catches the bracket and the top ear of the alternator... clamp it there with a vise grip... then take the bracket off and weld it, trip off the excess, cut the adjustment slot and shine it up a bit, paint. I've also form cut complete new top brackets but that's more work than it's worth to me....
