A year ago, driving to work in the dark, driving home in the dark, I was
surprised to find that my battery was dead after two weeks. Hmmm...apparently
the generator was unable to keep with the daily drain, a point confirmed by
Listers.
So, I've loved the new GM alternator that I replaced the generator with. But
the problem is, I've broken three different top brackets. And now, having
broken the bottom generator bracket trying to "flex" it to get it back onto the
engine, the front engine plate has broken at the bracket-to-generator mount.
Gadfrey.
While I continue trying to source a generator bracket (upper and lower), I'm
also trying to decide whether to give up on the alternator and go back to the
plodding, inadequate, but steady generator. But before I do, does anyone do an
aftermarket manufacture of just the bracket? I obviously don't have the
engineering talent to make one, and don't need the whole conversion kit.
Happy Turkey Day!
