Alternator is a full size 140 amp Powermaster. Only had it 1 year and would rather not have to buy mini one. So I need low mount brackets for a full size alt. 8472097-008.jpg (200 downloads) PSO headed 632 from MM. Cracked cylinder, loose valve seats, low oil pressure, low cylinder pressure. .....

At least that is how it looks in the picture. Not sure if you have anything else in that area. You might need to get another line built that is a couple of inches longer but that would be cheaper than building a custom alternator bracket or a new alternator.
