Hi, fellow rotary enthusiasts.  I have been experimenting this week 
(after all, I'm building an experimental) with a side mount
alternator bracket. Here is what I came up with. It is made 
from 1/4" aluminum plate, with a 1" square aluminum piece welded on
at the bottom which snugly fits between the alternator ears. 
I had a 90 degree aluminum angle welded on at the top to which the
stock alternator adjustment arm is bolted to. Very simple, easy 
to install, and seems to be pretty rugged as well. I will
probably trim off a few areas of the backing plate to save a 
few ounces in weight.  I will now put on my Nomex fire retardant
flight suit for anyone who wishes to flame my idea.  Hey, if 
nothing else, it might spark other ideas or improvements?  Thanks
for the ears and opinions.  Paul Conner, Mobile, AL
