I have a 3cyl Mitsubishi with a Lucus alternator... Take a length of steel rod (1" dia) and drill it. Cut off 2 pieces total length to fit the difference in mounts, one to be about 8mm thick The bolt then goes through... front alt mount - 8mm packing - engine mount - longer packing - rear alt mount. (the 8mm or whatever it actually is, makes the pulleys line up) Not done my me - like it when I got the boat. But was very useful when I needed to get the alternator repaired (brushes wore out) Ron Jones Process Safety & Development Specialist Don't repeat history, unreported chemical lab/plant near missesa at http://www.crhf.org.uk Only two things are certain: The universe and human stupidity; and I'm not certain about the universe. ~ Albert Einstein Yahoo!
