[Tigers] alternator install

[Tom Witt]

IF the goal is to use the cast Tiger generator bracket then just ignore. 
Otherwise this is one of those ubiquitous Asian car alternators. The 
brackets are before/after (modified). Sorry I can't recall from what 
car. Upper bracket and lower bracket share the same bolt at the water 
pump. The lower bracket (barely seen near red arrow) is slotted for 
adjustment. There is an additional spacer behind the alternator hidden 
by the wire wrap. It was a long time ago but I probably altered the oil 
dip stick tube too.
