Rich has a bolt on way to me! Thanks!

Today, I raised alternator out of bracket and threaded a short M10x1.5 into the forward ear. Thread is still good. Bolt got tight when it got near end. Might have to chase thread if bolt is 124mm long. Then add a locknut.

To get at upper bolts, I removed air cleaner. Found that my repair on the bracket had broken again. May try and get a new bracket. It was probably the broken bracket that was making the noise described at beginning of this thread!

I removing air cleaner bracket, I remembered a previous problem Where the lower bracket bolt screws into the block, the thread had stripped. What I had done back then, was put in a longer bolt - about 4 or 5 threads were holding - used JB-Weld on stripped section. Anyone had this problem? How did you fix it? Helicoil?
