Re: CS-144 140amp alternator upgrade howto
The difference between the 2 upper brackets in how far they sit forward is about the same thickness as the upper bolt boss on the alt. I took a stud (3\8) re-taped the alt to fit that size\thread and locktited it into the alt and then installed the alt with the upper boss behind the bracket and a nut and washer outside for adjustment. It's a TIGHT fit. You might have to file a little off the alt to clear the bracket. Done to a friends tow truck years ago and its still ok. jim

Little stuff left to do is mount winch, wet sand & buff out and build belly pan\running boards. Body work takes lots and LOTS of beer!!!! God, Guts and Guns made America and God, Guts and Guns will preserve it! The worst thing you could do is get into my sights, but that don't matter, you'll never know it, cause you'll never hear the shot  Jim or Paladin whichever you choose.
