In most of these pictures, you can clearly see the 3 point mounts.
The pivot is 1.
Then there is a bracket on either side of the alternator mounting lug. There is only one bolt usually but it passes thru 2 holes plus the alternator. Those 2 holes complete the 3 point mount.

I hope that explains my comment. clearly

 

sure does i have another bracket to weld on to support the outside of the pivot bolt

 

Here is one I made with 1" louvers.

 

nice job

 

Thanks Nunattax !!!

 

Here's the one I made for my T.






Alternator is a small Denso unit off of a Geo Metro converted to V-belt.

 

finished the bracket today .spaced the bkt from the head to help cooling

welded a spacer and outside plate together

tapped the inside spacer to m10 used high tensile bolt but will
eventually get a ARP stainless one

custom air filter cover with inset hubcap waiting for
powder coat and hand painted pinstriping

 

cool stuff here

 

Nice job !

 

Made this one for my 409. SBC would be similar

 

looks like a neat set up,i prefer to keep the alternator up high out of the dirt.got my pulleys powder coated along with some bolts.i want to shorten the adjuster by 3/4 inch to shorten the belt and reduce the leverage on the alternator.hope to post some pics tomorrow,its after midnight here im off to bed.
