Well, the plate is welded on the inside, so the dimension between the
block and generator is unchanged.

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

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?
