To20 12 volt conversion

Hi all, I m in the process of putting yet another Ferguson back together. Looking at the block it is a replacement according to all I ve read. It has the untapped bosses for the 6 volt system to a to30. The previous owners done worse than a shotty job in attempting to convert this to 12 volt. I m wondering if I use the untapped bosses ( that were tapped by previous owners to a 1/4" bolt and off center none the
Less) could I use the bottom TO30 bracket then along with the crooked top bracket for the to 20 to mount alternator? I just ordered a bottom bracket for a to30. The untapped bosses are for sure in the way to mount the 12 volt alternator as for now. I could grind the closest boss down to a nub.. or use the to30 bottom bracket.. anyhow just curious on other ideas.. has anyone ran into this issue before.. if so how did you resolve it? Thanks..I have two more weeks to work on this particular tractor then I have shoulder surgery, I m really pushing to get it done!

I have heard about the TO20-30 replacement block but never saw a good picture of one.
I think the TO30 bottom bracket should work. Might have to fiddle with holes in bracket a bit.
Top curved belt adjustment bracket I would think should work.

I used the to30 bottom bracket and the to20 top bracket. IF someone before you hadn t already monkied with those untapped bosses then that makes the job easier, in my case someone has drilled them and tapped them with 1/4 inch bolts. Which I had to stick with due to where they were drilled. Anyhow not a hard job. I now need to find the right size belt, power wash the hood and fenders and she aught to be ready to sell.
