Default Plane Power Alternator Help

I am attempting to install a 60 amp Plane Power alternator on a Superior XP 360 with a Boss Mount.
There is a small support bracket included in the that as far a I can tell is supposed to mount from the alternator over to a bolt hole that is in the starter. The bracket doesn't quite line up with the bolt hole on the Sky Tec starter. Does anyone have a photo of their installation so that I can see where all of the brackets go?
Any help is greatly appreciated.

Jeff,

Here's a (poor lighting) photo of the bracket on my install on a Superior IO360. The longer bracket (not shown) goes on the top of the alternator and bolts directly to the engine. Hope this helps.

Great picture Greg! The bracket is a good addition (lacking from Van's kit) in that it helps reduce vibration to the alternator. If at all possible use it.
