Volks

so start tale of wow ...
starting hearing the alt belt wine at start up a few days ago
so Sat AM is good time to take a peek

well the stud on the right side of the bracket is busted off inside the stud
hole :)
and the bolt has backed it self out on the other side

well this picks me off not 1 year ago I lost a water pump in the BC interior
on my summer vacation
near a farm owned by a ex vw mech., well when we were on our way to fix the
pump
we found both the bolt & the stud busted off so he free hand drill those
puppies out
and tapped in brand new 10MM stud / bolts & now 18mths later the new stud
has snapped off ..
wtf is it with this pos vw alternator bracket too much torque from the big
heavy alt  ??

Any ways taking a look this time I think it makes most sense to create a new
bracket
& brace it up with some custom flat bar crossed bolted to the power steering
pump bolts on the
block ...

so do you guys know of any one that fabricated a custom alternators brackets
to resolve this issue ??
