I did the same as Joey but used the alternator support bolt holes.

I might drill a couple more so that I can mount it either way.

Mines on the altenator brackets, it works better on As than A+ tho due to the balance.

You would think it would be too much weight to hang off the altenator alone but ive never had one fall on my foot!!

Us the oil filter head instead. They're 3/8". As you can see from the picture, I use BOTH the alternator and oil filter head. No need to worry.

Looks almost identical to mine.

Is it worth sticking a gusset on it?
