Anything to help spread the load....but really, if the belt is adjusted properly you should never have a problem...

Subject: Re: Generator mount decision time
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!!
