[Healeys] Maybe this is my rattle ...

[Robert Duquette]

That makes sense!


It seemed odd to me that the bracket cracked in a manner opposite to the force
that should be normally exerted upon it.

Robert,

I saw a break just like that a few years ago when that mounting bolt was used
to connect an engine hoist.

Are the generator brackets prone to breaking?

I ask because I just discovered that mine is broken on the front ear and I
see, in a preliminary search, that used ones are available as well as
aluminum
'heavy duty' ones.  It seems strange to me that this would break in this
manner, so I'm asking ...  Normally, I would prefer a used original part to a
repro, for a part of this nature but not if it's going to break like this
again.
