In my 91 RV-4 with 0-360 A1A it had the original vans alternator. It went out and at the time I decided to go with the automotive replacement that was identical (35A part number 14184). It fit and now I'm replacing it with an automotive 55A part number 14684. I've converted it to externally regulate but the mounting ears don't fit.
From many threads, the 14684 should fit and work great. However it doesn't seem to fit between the ears on the bracket. Is there a different bracket or is the common suggestion to machine down the ear on the alternator case? I have the vams bracket part VA-151-2 (although mine might not be a -1 or -2 since it was built in 91).
