The fabrication of the alternator and governor brackets is not hard, but is VERY dependent on what you are using and how you intend to install the units. I can and will send you photos of my installation and brackets if you wish. HOWEVER: You will require a drive unit for the Woodward. Ed makes the nicest one out there. If you are going to buy his drive unit, you would be wise to buy his bracket as well. Then everything will line up, and the drive ratios will be right. What alternator are you using, and where are you going to mount it? I am using a B&C 60 amp alternator which is a new but aircraft modified Nippon Denso alternator mounted in the upper starboard position. Key here is getting the drive pulleys of the proper ratio lined up. I found that I needed a Long Nosed waterpump with a 3/8th shim to line up the pulleys and belts. Thus final dimensions depend on the installation. Let me know what information might be of use to you. LRE
