Hi Chris,
The alternator is supported at the back by an "S" shaped bracket that
bolts to the block in the stock location. The front bolts (via the alt.
through-bolts) to a bracket that mounts on the front timing cover behind
the gen. drive belt. The bracket was hacksawed out of aluminum plate and
uses the top two bolts of the timing cover as it's attachment points.
The stock Geo alt. pulley was used at the top and the stock Eldo at the
bottom (I think he spaced it forward slightly though).
Very sano installation all in all. Dale was a very interesting gentleman
to speak with and didn't mind taking the Eldo apart to show me how he
did things. Still should have took more pictures though! Cheers,
Charlie

Killer sweet ride! I'd love some specifics on how he mounted the
alternator. It looks like it is just barely hanging on in the stock
bracket, but I know it can't be that simple. Strange, but very cool
shifter too. Don't know about those white upper fork cover tho...I'm
stuck on black. Still, one nice piece!
