What I've done on 2 Ambos so far is to weld another piece of metal
on the INSIDE of the bracket where the mounting holes are to beef it
up, helicoil the holes in the case and replace the mounting bolts with
studs, making sure that they're long enough to go through the double
thickness. The extension piece to the distributor bolt is a good thing
also, prevents the gen from rocking as a result of torque.

| On my SECOND bracket, to prevent the cracking I did two things. First I really watch that my generator belt is not too tight, and secondly, I welded and drilled a extension piece onto my bracket, that attaches to the distributor bolt. Gives a better mount. David Szenasy 1972 Eldo
