Do I have to take off the Alternator Adjusting Bracket ,attach the alternator to it with the alternator adjusting bolt with the welded threaded rod and then assemble the whole unit into the car ?? Apparently my MB indy awhile ago had cut off the threaded rod off the adjusting bolt when I asked him to tighten it when I previously couldn't- said I didn't need it. It held for 25k when I put the new belt on.Now the alternator is shot so I got a 55 amp Bosch. Do I really need that threaded rod ?? I was thinking about welding a threaded rod back on but it looks like it has special nut according to the pictures or will a regular stainless steel nut with heavy washers suffice? Or just tightening the adjusting bolt will do without the rod just like the way he had it. That seemed to work.Just have to pry it tight otherwise..Without the threaded rod I can just slip the new alternator in put in the cutoff bolt. Any suggestions ? -THANX Bob 83 240D PS Mao your SCOBY is going out this week. It has been too hot to mail recently....
