I would use the grade 8 studs and lock nuts with the stock bracket...

Subject: Generator mount decision time
| 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? 73 Eldo (motor finally together) 78 T3/949 |
