Hey Guys-
In addition to the dogleg brace, the RV14 plans, show a brace going between a lug on the starter to the bolt common to the pivot point of the alternator. It's called out in the RV14 build manual section 43 with Vans part number V-1002.
I've got a B&C alternator and it didn't come with this brace, just the big U shaped boss mount and the dogleg. The area I'm talking about in circled in the picture below.
Is this something that I really need or is it 1/4 lb of dead weight I can live without?
