This piece of $hit alternator bracket design got really hungry, so hungry, it ate the timing gear cover.
As can be seen here the evidence is still in its teeth...
I have hears many experts on the M-25 espouse that this fracture only occurs if you put a larger alternator than stock on these engines. This is completely and utterly FALSE...
This is the STOCK alternator and the bracket lasted about 20 years before the timing gear case broke. You may get lucky for a while but the clock is ticking!!!!!!!!!!!
