Alternator mounting TO20 pics?

I bought a kit to mount a 1-wire alternator on the to-20 but there's no instructions or pictures and I haven't found any YouTube videos to match. Best I can tell is I may need to get creative but the seller said it was a direct fit with included kit. Any help would be appreciated (pictures please). I've got these two parts and several nuts and bolts that don't fit anything.

I recently used that exact same kit. I had to grind a little off the radiator shroud, and take the front end loose to remove the shim/ generator bracket.now that its done it still looks a hair crooked, it should be ok though. I worked on brackets and alternator for an hour or so before I was half way happy with it.Ill take pics tomorrow. TO30s are MUCH easier in my humble opinion.
 
I made my own lower mount with a curved alt bracket for the top mount.
That pre-made contraption that is welded together might work if you cut the weld and put it back together at a different position.
 
This wont help with the mounts you have but here are pictures of what I fabricated to mount mine. It is a 6 volt
voltage regulator.

Terry, that's what I have on my Ford 2N, 6 volt positive ground alternator. Glad to see I'm not the only one out there that have done that.
 
Best thing I've ever done was the 6 volt alternator. I never could keep a voltage regulator working with the old generator. I've had this one on for nearly 3 years and it has not failed to start one time. I tried switching to 12 volt several years ago but kept breaking nose cones off of the starter. It always starts good on 6 volts I just couldn't keep the battery charged with the old generator and regulator.

Here's what I ended up doing after seeing some of y'all's handy work. Salvaged parts and pieces from the junk bucket. Bonus points if you can name the parts that were used to make the braces. My top brace would've looked real nice and pretty until I realized I welded it in reverse because I got in a hurry.

You know, I've seen a lot of these bracket modification projects and then when I did my TO35 6v to 12v conversion I just got one of those 'mini' generators the 'hot rod' guys use on their car projects and measured for a new belt. I used the stock bracket and it all worked like a charm. The 'mini' generator fits inside the front axle jounce-rebound swing so that's not even a problem like the big Delco gets hit by the axle/steering linkage.

Big issue is the mini alternator is $90 instead of the more common Delco alternator that is $65.
