    Paul,

    Alt. mount looks fine. What size is the tube/hose from oil pump outlet to cooler and filter. In the photo it looks to be about dash-6
(3/8in). If so that would be highly restrictive at the rpm's we run
in our a/c. Most are using dash-10 although dash-8 will probably work.
   The oil pump will have extra load and the oil will have extra heat
from extra restriction. IMHO! Jump in here about this Lynn!

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
