pipebomb Posted January 7, 2011 Report Share Posted January 7, 2011 hey thought you guys might be interested in this, its a universal alternator bracket for a 10si gm alternator made to swap out a generator. i got one today and its built good and is plenty adjustable. easier than trying to fab up a mount. http://cgi.ebay.com/ebaymotors/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=170582387303&viewitem=&sspagename=STRK:MEWNX:IT Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

40desoto Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Anybody know of another place that might manufacture a bracket to replace the old Generator to a newer style alternator? This is for a 1940 Desoto 215 flathead engine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Don Coatney Posted October 12, 2012 Report Share Posted October 12, 2012 Very easy to fab one up using the original generator bracket, a hunk of all thread, and a couple of mounting ears. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambamshere Posted March 7, 2017 Report Share Posted March 7, 2017 I saw this sitting here last year so I tried it Don Coatney. I put it together and shock so much it broke the threaded shaft I put on in half. Do you remember what grade the shaft was. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DJ194950 Posted March 8, 2017 Report Share Posted March 8, 2017 Grade 5 all thread it is strongest readily available all thread. Most all thread is is not even graded. Grade 2 is 2nd. most avail. Grade 5 may take some searching but is avail. most areas, not hard to find. If I count correctly Don had 7 nuts on his install, did you? It all matters. Not trying to criticize in any way, jus' askin'. DJ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But if vibration was an issue something must be way out of alignment. I get no vibration at all with my bracket. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambamshere Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 Oh ok I will have to see. I may put something on the back from the alternator to the bar so maybe I can stop the vibrations. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambamshere Posted March 20, 2017 Report Share Posted March 20, 2017 I bought another bar today and am going to see if I can tighten it up a bit better. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bambamshere Posted March 26, 2017 Report Share Posted March 26, 2017 So I figured out what I did wrong and why the first bar broke. I had used a 5/16 bar the first time and what I should have used was a 3/8 bar to make it fit tight. Plus I put a few spacers on it. Plus the alternator and the fan pulley were out of wake. So it all works now thanks for the help. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Timav8s Posted December 1, 2021 Report Share Posted December 1, 2021 I know this i an old string, but a google search found it. I have 1947 Dodge WC with the original 218 that a previous owner converted to 12v. The homemade bracket he used is hosed up and I get a belt squeal when shifting. I have tried a new belt and reworking the bracket but I am not able to fix the issue. Does anyone have a handle on a good universal bracket I can use or another method of making one? I do not have the original Gen bracket. Thanks, Tim Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

lostviking Posted December 2, 2021 Report Share Posted December 2, 2021 Sounds to me like he's asking where to get one, not to buy one from a member. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
