    And I say 4 carbs just cause you can mount it up top with 3 carbs..

    Poor Piero, nobody loves him HAHA. Just leave it out in the breeze. Your probably in the same situation as I was with mine and there was just no way I could get any alternator down under out of sight. And a generator is just so much bigger than those little Kubota tractor alternators. Marcus on his 34 has it in the wind, guess you'll just have to do the same. Have you got that trans swap finished yet? Livewire needs some highway miles.

    On my model A roadster, I left it out in the wind. But it kinda bugged me too. On my 36 3W, I wanted hood sides, so I tucked it up a bit. Originally built this mount for my CD-694 4 Carb, but now am running a 2x2. Picks up the Pass side top water pump mounting bolt (with a stud) and then the 2 Pass side water neck bolts. Fits both intakes just fine. It's not pretty and shiny like Marcus', but it's been working fine for 5+ years. Might be something you can expand upon. Post what you come up with! Good luck!
