Boy, that did take you a while to accomplish. I'm glad the bracket worked out for you.

Well . . . . good things come to those who w a i t.

Got any pics you want to share Jerryl?

It looks the same as the one in this thread. :wink:
Only thing I did differently is get a flanged nutsert and placed that on the front alternator side. Makes the belt tension adjustment MUCH easier.
