PO Alernator story

[Steve Harvey <stevenh@execpc.com>]

Hello,
My alternator (Delco, passenger side) belt was off of alignment by at
least 1". I figured that I could redesign the bracket so the belt runs
straight and true to the other pulleys. The P.O. built a triangle shaped
bracket using two of the OHC cover bolt holes to secure the alternator
in place. Is that a bad idea? I've got the alternator running in line
now but need another way to hold tension on the belt. Any ideas?
Thanks
