5) Alternator Bracket
This is the only part you can not buy at the parts house. This is one of the main reasons some buy a ready to install kit but first lets look at other possibilities. I have seen brackets for sale on e-bay or you may want to contact a place that sells kits and see if they will sell you just the bracket. You could also make or have someone make the bracket. I made my own bracket from material I had on hand. To make your own bracket you will need between 1 to 2 feet of �� x 1� bar stock.
If you look at the picture in the first section you can see that it is only two pieces of metal welded together. If you have a torch and a welder you could make your own very easily.
If you do not have a welder you could make the straight piece that bolts against the motor by cutting it with a hack saw and drilling out the holes. You could then mark on this piece where you would need the alternator to be and take this to a welding shop and have them bend the U shaped piece that fit�s the mounting ear on the alternator. They could then weld these two pieces together for you.
I used my old adjusting bar. I only had to bend the S shape in it a little to fit the alternator.
