I?m installing the standard Vans 60Amp alternator kit on an O320-D2A with a Sky-Tec Starter. The instructions call for the fabrication of a support strut between the alternator and the starter, made out of supplied 1/4 ? aluminum stock. It states the support strut may have to be ?joggled? to align with the flanges on both the alternator and starter. The strut will be about 2 1/2 ? long and it appears the joggle for my configuration will be about ??. Bending a ?? joggle in a 2 ?? long piece of ?? aluminum is going to be very difficult. So, I though I could just make a ?? think shim (washer) to mount between the strut and starter flange thus eliminating the need to joggle. Anyone see any issues doing this?
