[Roadsters] Alternator Mounting Bolt Sheared

[Gary and Cindy Ault]

Do you have an early ('67-1/2) alternator mounting bracket -- the cast-iron
part which bolts to the block?  The smog pump bracket won't work without
modification.

The triangular brace and spacers are easy to make or have made.
 I had someone copy the pieces from my '66/'69 U20 for my '67-1/2 2000.  The
PO had not installed the bracewhen he restored the car.  When I did the U20
transplant for the '66 in 1972, I was able to buy all the requisite '67-1/2
parts from Nissan.

Thanks for all
the suggestions.  Decided to relocate the alternator to 
passenger side.

I
have most of the necessary hardware, except for the triangular smog 
pump
brace (flat steel, bored with three locating holes) that attaches 
to the
timing cover and fixes the front lower alternator mounting bolt 
location.

And
right side in this helpful link:

Anyone
have one available for purchase?

Thanks.
