I suspect that is not something done to your bracket.� That bracket with the nut adjuster is the standard on Golfs and Jettas.� They bolt on to the Vanagon.�

Some PO or mechanic of my "new" beast welded a small rack on the slot
in the alternator adjusting strap.� It mates with a hex-headed pinion
that rotates on the clamping bolt.� Turns tensioning the alternator
belt into something your six-year-old could do without breaking a
sweat.� No idea what it engine/vehicle came from originally, but it's
sweet.� Nice welding job, too.

I'm not as fond of some of the *other* things that were done to the
engine wiring.� Likely not the same fella.
