VWNate1, thank you very much for the information; I"ll head over to the hardware store this weekend and buy the wave type lockwashers. BTW, the bracket came with the alternator and appears to be in good working condition. I believe I may not have tightened the one bolt down plus the vibration of the diesel shook things loose.

Due to complaints, I'm going to change the description to "Alternator throwing a hissy fit like a spoiled, self-entitled BRAT". That way it comes across more PC.
