--> Engines-List message posted by: "Brian DalPorto" <dalporto.brian@ssd.loral.com>

I have an O-290 with a GM alternator that has been modified to match the
existing case mounted bracket. the alternator is going bad, the bearings
make noise and I can here a whine in my head sets. The modification on
the existing alternator was to cut away half of the wide mounting boss
on the alternator and insert a spacer on the back side to move the
alternator forward to line up the pulleys. Would like to replace this
alternator with an automotive type Nippondenso and use the brackets I
have. So my questions are;

1. Does anybody know if there is a Nippondenso alternator that will fit
the lycoming case mounted bracket? If so what is the part number?

2. Does anybody know of someone who makes case mounted brackets like the
one that ASAS sells for the boss mount?

3. Counting on having to make my own bracket, what alternator would be
recomended?

I replaced my Nippon-Denso with a Bosch on a IO360.  I'm pretty happy with 
it.  It is hell for stout and looks higher quality than the Denso.

Not sure if the mounting is exactly same for a 290.

# Bosch #  AL123X   55/60 amp
