I have drilled holes in the channel portion of the frame under the top
tube/backbone (under gas tank) in direct relationship to the rear holes in
the generator mount designed for the plastic cover. Then I fab two flat strap
steel brackets to mount the rear portion of the generator bracket to the
frame, helping to offset the front loading of the belt tension, which I feel
is the main reason for mount failure. It also relieves some pressure from the
engine case bolt hole mounts. If only MG engineers would have spread fore &
aft the motor case mounting holes!!
