Pat, is yours long enough to get the alterator bracket, the dip stick
bracket and the retaining washer and nut on it.? 11/16ths seems mighty
short. I talked with Chris at VAN CAFE and he said that should be an 8mm X
38  stud stiking out. I suspect it should have at least 1 inch exposed to
mount those brackets.
