Magnesium Alternator bracket, who made them?
Posted: Sun Sep 25, 2011 11:28 am
In about 1970 I fitted a Lucas alternator to my S4.
I cannot remember where I bought the mounting bracket but it actually a double purpose item designed to hold both the alternator and a fuel injection pump (or less likely, a dry sump pump). I cut off the circular pump flange and used it just for the alternator for many years. I dont have it now as I put that engine in a +2 which I used and then sold, whilst I was fitting a new chassis to the S4.
Just to satisfy my curiosity, does anyone know who manufactured the bracket? I have never seen one since or found any reference to them.
