Ok. First let's restrict comments on the hinky slotted bracket. It is two b= rackets bolted together to test it out. Neither was long enough so I need t= o buy or fabricate one. It is working ok for now. This is a alt for a Kobuto tractor. It is also shipped on the Eggenfelder s= oob. It is 40 amps to work with the stock 70 amp in the stock mount. This is wir= ed with the Aeroelectric Z-14 schematic and is mounted on the stock air pum= p bracket. The Mistral intake almost interfered but I held my tongue just r= ight along with a small prayer to the builder Gawd, Comonmakeitfit, and I f= igured it out. I ran the engine (yeah, my engine is actually running) and the alt was rock= solid and the belt was smooth as ice. I saved about 7 lbs. Before you herald me as a weight saving guru the reaso= n I removed the old full size alternator that was mounted with a bit "off" = Pineapple Racing alternator mount (it mounts a second alt where the stock a= ir conditioner compressor goes) is to make room for a Seamech aircraft air = conditioner. My friend owns the company and is supervising the A/C install.= Now if the engine just stays running as great, with really easy starts, a= s it has been for the last few weeks. I am conflicted as to install the a/c now or after 40.
