I have finally changed the alternater bracket from the steel one to the ally one.





I gave the alley bracket a bit of a clean




This is what it did look like




I took the alternater of and gave it a bit of a clean as well



You will not belive the wait of this bracket i would love to know what it is of




Look at the size diffrence in these two brackets



The alternater was a bit rusty




This is how it looks now
