I was thinking about Bill schertz simple rear motor mount scheme and
then the question of what do we do with the alternator came up.
It won't fit in the stock high location under the Kis cowl.

The answer is incorporate the rear motor mount with the
side alternator mount bracket somehow. Doing away with
the crank angle  IGT sensor and triggering off the e-shaft
solves some of the belt clearance problems allowing us to
raise the side mounted alternator.

Here is the 3D. I think this is the best idea so far as it picks
up a bunch of bolts on the front cover and the front end housing
and solves the alternator mounting problem. Spacers can be used
where necessary. Jerry, can you mock this up in .065 mild steel? Hard
to
know if my Rhino models are accurate. Charlie and Bill will need one
in 4130.
I would like one too.

Yes I can, but my cup is full.   Ed is a better choice.   I am going to
visit him next week.  BTW,  he is having e-mail problems.  He can
receive but not send.  I hope he gets it working soon because we need
his input.    If you need it,  I can provide his phone  number.

I have his phone number. I'll try to remember this rear MM scheme and the next
time some one needs a rear motor mount I'll mention it again.
I think it is the best rear motor mount yet.
