Tracing and deminsions of Texas T (Birdhaven) Alt. mount
Does anyone have a mounting bracket that bolts to the engine with the front left two head bolts that Birdhaven includes with their Texas T external mount 12 volt alternator kits, that could draw me a tracing of and include all dimensions. They don't list them separately and if I relocate my charging unit, from the generator position, I want to use a 6 volt alternator and Birdhaven's kits only are offered with 12 volt alternators. If I have a tracing and the dimensions, I can make a bracket that will work. If you can help, let me know. Otherwise, I'll do it the old fashioned way, trial and error.

Bump. I can't believe not a single T owner has relocated his T's generator (or alternator).

It may be that they are all mounted and no one wants to disassemble theirs. Here is link to the the installation instructions - I'm sure you can figure out something from them. http://www.texastparts.com/mm5/manuals/T5119ALT-Ext.pdf
The past is a great place and I don't want to erase it or to regret it, but I don't want to be its prisoner either.

I had thought about the fact that every owner had theirs installed. I'm going to contact Birdhaven and if they won't sell just the bracket, I'll measure the center-to-center of the two bolt holes and apply it this the drawing in the photo.
