refabed bracket
well last nite I went to get the alternator installed and found out the pulley was sitting back to far to line up with the belt. The parts house assured me that it was the right alternator. but the pulley might somehow be different. they had a note on the screen that said i might have to use the old pulley off of the old alternator. Well gee wiz. it would have been nice of them to tell me that when they sold the darn thing to me. My lower bracket isn't adjustable but guess what they could sell me one. :( or might be able to get a different alternator but it would be an internal regulated one. well I didn't want that cause I would have to rewire everything. Well back to the drawing board. Thru trial and error I decided to make another bracket and then weld a couple of bolts on it a little farther forward and then mount the original bracket.
