A few more details might be a good idea! And some pictures too preferably.
Is the problem finding a suitable bracket or making your own?
From the Rascal mount I just cut off the piece that it actually bolts too and welded this to a 3mm plate I'd already drilled to match some holes
in the block. Then just re-used the old bolts from the Pinto mount and the Rascal bolts to attach the alt' to the mount.
Took about 30mins (plus painting) and cost about 0 pence!
HTH,
James

I made my own bracket to fit a Kia Pride Alternator to my pinto, it took about 1 1/2 hours to make and works fine

If you can keep you head, whilst all others around you are losing theirs, you are not fully aware of the situation

Mark,
You shouldn't need a thick wire like that for such a small alternator... or is it like the F1 wheel ties idea? Just in case it falls off?
I'll get me coat!
