Mocking up the pump and old alternator adjustment bracket is straight and does not fit. I took the bracket off my 216 and had a couple options to mount it. I can mount it up high on one of those bolts that could use a spacer or on the bolt lower. I could add a thin washer to take up some space on the upper point, but any issues with it being a little loose? The lower mounting point limits the belt adjustment. The bracket will rub and stop the alternator from going any further away from the engine. I'm leaning towards the upper mounting point.

Another question: Is there any issue with putting the adjustment bolt and bracket on the front on the alternator? I mean, as long as it doesn't get in the way of the pulley blades is that an option? I noticed in one of my first pictures the bracket was bent and I had it mounted on the front of the alternator.
