Does anybody have any reference photos for brackets. The 235 I have had a generator on it, now I am looking for some ideas on brakets for the alternator.

After searching the shop here at work, I "configured" a sweet mounting system bracket deal. I used the bottom generator bracket on the motor for the bottom.I put a bolt through the entire bracket(front to rear). For the top or adjustment bracket, I used a bracket off a 366 chevy bigblock. Worked perfect. The bracket on top actually forms and is bent to the exhaust manifold. Hooked up the alternator and she is charging. 13.98 at the battery, 13.99 at the alternator. I want to thank all the guys who responded to my posts. She is working SWEET !!!!!!!
