That makes perfect since to me! I am helping a fellow bolter out and would like to have a bracket bent before I head over to help. His alternator is now just held on with the front "L" of the original bracket so the alternator flops around a little and not very secure. I believe its a 1955 235 engine.

If you could measure from the inside edge of the front to the first and second mounting holes in the block, I could bend a whole new bracket and then weld the second "L" to it using the alternator as a spacer. I would need the measurement from the alternator mounting hole to the base of the bracket also, that way I would be close to the original hight and his new belt would still fit OK. What size holes are in the block?

Thanks again for helping, Joe.
