The alternator and water pump run off the same drive belt and therefore are mounted close together. It's a fairly straight forward operation. Except for cutting and drilling a mount backing plate, the water pump simply bolts on. The alternator required slightly more ingenuity.

The alternator mounts on this airframe mounting bracket. As it turned out the alternator needed to be raised a bit to achieve the proper drive belt alignment. I decided to use washers over the mount bracket stub to raise the alternator into proper alignment

The inside diameter of the first washer had to be enlarged to fit over the welding bead.

The mount was built up with several washers to raise the alternator into proper alignment.

Part of the alternator adjustment bracket had to be cut to clear the adjustment arm.

The alternator adjustment bracket had to be manufactured. Here the Mighty Mouse of tools cuts the adjustment slot in the bracket.
