alt relocation question I see cutting the accessory bracket to re-locate the alt where the a/c was is a popular mode. Just wanted to see has any one had the bracket break because of the cutting?

If you use an air grinder and put it in a solid vice, I dont see how it will break. Unless you use a hammer or drop it.
File down cut smooth, jagged edges could start a crack over time.

Mine finally cracked after a few years driving along with about 20 passes on the track. Spinning to 7k area is what I think did it in. It never broke but it didn't look good. I may try to fab a bracket to go across the two towers where the alternator used to be. I only saw it because it was powdered black and I was revving the motor under the hood and noticed the crack when the bracket flexed. The new one has been fine so far.
