My pal Dave is swapping my old 258 for a 360, which needs bracketry. Rather than pay top dollar for ratty old brackets off FleaBay, and since he&#8217;s become quite adept at fabrication, we talked and I offered to pull my alternator bracketry and make tracings\/measurements to give him something to go on. Well, I pulled my alternator brackets and drew up the plans, and along the way of reinstalling, I now can&#8217;t get two bolts back in (one interferes with the water pump pulley), and I lost one of the bolts that holds my passenger side fender onto the grille&#8230; inside the grille itself. Also stabbed myself with the caliper (not bad, just pissed me off). So tomorrow, gotta re-reinstall the alternator bracketry and find that missing bolt just to get back to where I was when I started today.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"768\" height=\"1024\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230219_154908404-1-rotated.jpg?resize=768%2C1024&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-1198\" srcset=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230219_154908404-1-rotated.jpg?w=768&amp;ssl=1 768w, https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/mister4x4.net\/mister4x4\/wp-content\/uploads\/2023\/02\/IMG_20230219_154908404-1-rotated.jpg?resize=225%2C300&amp;ssl=1 225w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 768px) 100vw, 768px\" \/><figcaption>Here&#8217;s the bottom alternator bracket.
