Alternator bracket
MikeLR - 25/9/08 at 09:30 AM

I have had two alternator brackets fail on the welds. This is the bracket that attaches the alternator to a Zetec under the carbs, can anyone suggest a "quality" item.
Done some phoning around and not come up with anything yet.

Very common failure on zetec's.

Its normally the bolts that shear tho and are a bugger to get out of the block

And very common Tigers! Tiger do a stronger item if you want to go down that road.

Anyone know why they fail? the crossflows, pre crossflows, pinto's used similar setups to those most of us fabricate......

One question - how can you tell which is the "Stronger" Tiger mount ?
Both of mine have broken off at the welds, back weld last time and yesterday;front weld.
