Wow does that suck. I like to stay no bigger than the factory made them. 160 was the plow prep option alternator for that year. That's enough for me.

Some grinding of the accessory bracket was required to fit my 200 amp.

Finished the lower H/E mounts, basically the same as the no longer available JG lower mounts. Used some high quality 6061 aluminum; that **** is strong, wow, had no idea it would be that tough to bend. I'm not 100% satisfied with them as I couldn't get exactly the same radius, close, but not perfect, they will however mount flush and even. If only I had the proper tools



these will do for now, going to cut 2 more pieces and have a shop bend them proper!
