The bolts should  not have failed, but they did. Why?  In the end, it was found that it was the mechanics fault. Instead of following procedure, they were short cutting and using a fork lift to make it easier to make an engine change. 

In this case, it is very advisable to observe the installation procedure of your alternator, and if a forklift
is being used, be suspicious. If a forklift is NOT being used � context really is everything.
