Cons: Pain in the chuff to mount an alternator if your not using the standard brackets and alternator (unless you are good at fabricating stuff)

i presume because they would have to be a certain thickness and that you would have to bore out so big to put the bigger liners in it would be close to oil ways and water ways ect. On 19th Feb, 2011 Miniwilliams said:
