I drilled and tapped mine out larger and put in JB Weld coated studs.
I also added two studs in the webbing voids to the left and right of the
original holes giving me a spread four mounting pattern.
One bit of warning if you are going to drill the original mounting holes
for any reason:
THERE IS AN OIL PASSAGE BELOW THEM!!!!
DRILL NO DEEPER THAN ORIGINAL!!!

I won't tell you how I know this but if you happen to bust into it I can
let you know the 'fix' for it.

O.k, guys.

I just got the alt kit from Greg F.. I was, for some unkown reason,
under the impression that it mounted to the frame, over the engine, when

in fact, it uses hte gen. bracket holes ontop of the block. Some of you
know this already, having bought/installed it.

The holes ontop of my engine block are R E A L Y bugered! That's why I
was hoping the alt kit mounted to the frame. I am going to keep and use
the alt kit, but I need to know what I can do to repair the gen. bracket

holes.

I know this has been discussed much, but I wasn't paying attention,
becouse I 'thought' I wasn't going to use those holes.

This problem has been the #1 hangup for me in getting the bike
finished...

Thanks!
