Default Alternator relocation bracket help

I tried to put on my alternator today, with bracket that relocates it low on the passenger side. It seems my one bolt is too short, and I may be missing a bolt, and for the life of me can't figure it out.

Any pics of installs would really help me out if you have them!

My guess is I'm missing the longer bolt that goes in the top hole, I should move that bolt that is in the last pic down to the "missing" bolt, and get a longer one for the top.

Any comments from guys that have this installed greatly appreciated!
Bolt size anyone know what thread they are? I dont want to accidently go metric/imperial and screw up threads.

Looks to be right, if its not your dd, take the bolt that goes into the block and go to lowes or a hardware store and get one a 1/2 inch bigger. 3/8 sized bolt i believe

How many spacers do you have? You need 3 spacers, 3 long bolts all the same length in 3/8-16 thread, one shorter bolt and a nyloc nut also 3/8-16.

Shorter bolt goes in the adjustment slot.

Looks good. I just put one on mine last winter. I had to adjust the belt after some wot runs but it is staying nice and straight now.
