Tom.. there has been a ton written about this in the past.. seems to me
helicoil and then insert studs, instead of bolts... I do remember Jesse
or maybe Patrick Hayes? had a very detailed approach for the whole
bracket issue.. maybe they'll chime in.

| O.k, guys. I just got the alt kit from Greg F.. I was, for some unkown reason, under the impression that it mounted to the frame, over the engine, when in fact, it uses hte gen. bracket holes ontop of the block. Some of you know this already, having bought/installed it. The holes ontop of my engine block are R E A L Y bugered! That's why I was hoping the alt kit mounted to the frame. I am going to keep and use the alt kit, but I need to know what I can do to repair the gen. bracket holes. I know this has been discussed much, but I wasn't paying attention, becouse I 'thought' I wasn't going to use those holes. This problem has been the #1 hangup for me in getting the bike finished...
