Plan on drilling the nut and bolt end to secure with safety wire the
reverse oriented bolt. You should be fine.

Call Vans and tell them you need the Plane Power Alternator Adapter Spacer kit.
Its not listed in the parts catalog but the tech guys will know what you need
for the RV10.

Thank you Charlie. Did take 10 minutes last night and shaved off .125 of the rear
spacer, added 2 washers in the front as well as at the bracket and as expected,
now a perfect fit and alignment. Because of your post Charlie I did try
Vans again this morning and this time got right through - they did say they
had a spacer kit specifically for the RV-10. I ordered it anyway, and strongly
suggested that it would be helpful and the right thing to do to include those
parts in the FF kit or any Alt. kit ordered for the RV-10. Just put it in
the kits and change the price if you have to - its only a few dollars!

Rich,
Everyone but Vans agrees with you. I'm still astonished that if you buy the engine
and fwf kit from vans, they expect you to know that you have to order the
bushings. Plus pay $30 for them.
