I need to make a decision on what to do regarding attaching the
generator bracket to the block. The motor and transmission are ready to
drop into the frame, and it'll be easier to do beforehand. The threaded
holes in the block are fine, and I have one unbroken stock bracket and
one bracket that was cracked at the front hole and that's been repaired
by welding in a piece of hot-rolled steel plate, doubling the thickness
of the bottom plate of the mount.
Should I locktight in some studs and use nylock nuts, and if so, would
10.9 grade studs (sawed off bolts) be better than 8.8?
