Default Automotive Alternator Bracket

My father picked up an alternator from an 81 honda accord in a wrecking yard. It's 50amp and externally regulated, so I'll use an LR-3. I like that it has a nice large pully, turns the correct direction, is externally regulated, and is only $30 at Autozone!

My engine case is boss mount, so is Van's PN ES ALT-BKT what I need to get this thing mounted? My old bracket is about 3/16" shy of fitting. I could add some washers, but the second problem is that the pivot bolt is too large for this alternator.

Does anyone have any recommendations? Pictures of Van's ES ALT-BKT?

Default Samurai Alternator

I am looking for pictures of the Van's ES ALT-BKT, also... Trying to mount a Samurai Alternator on an O-360. Did you get one? Would you be able to post a pic?

Thanks,

Jason
