74Dusted
Stock Piler of 340's
Crackedback, got some details/specs on that alternator? I could benefit from moving my alternator to that location on my '74 Duster (have to rearrange stuff to mount an A/C compressor with the 6-71 Blower)
I can't stand the stock location of the alternators. Figured since I don't have PS, why not put it there. Get the weight lower.
It's a 85-90 amp unit from a Toyota. Depending on what you need, find one for a late 80's/early 90's pickup/4runner. Pay attention to the output stud clocking The one pictured is for a 2000 camry 4 cyl. I had to buy a pulley to get rid of the serp belt pulley.
The bracket is going to get a bunch of lightening holes when finished.

Mig welding in floor panels on a challenger in the shop.
Here's the finished item. Nice deal is I can load and unload the alternator without removing any brackets.

Thats real nice Cracked. I have to move the alt on the turbo dart and I have room right where you put yours! I might have to "borrow" your idea.

Just some stainless piping at work. Small joints are TIG and the large 8" pipe is MIG.
The stainless pipe inserted through the carbon steel beam is MIG with 309L wire.....ss to cs (yes there is a special alloy wire you have to run to weld stainless to carbon/mild steel). Otherwise you risk cracking and breaking.
Things I've been working on the last 2 weeks. Have to do 3 sets of this same set up. Really just an overly engineered drain for a pump/motor that sits on the 3" plate welded to the beam. The plate gets machined once the unit is welded to a skid base frame. Fun stuff

Something I've been working on at work.
5/8" welds everywhere. Weighs 18,375#
Flange is machined already, have to hold to .005" tolerance and at a 1* angle.
Going to be holding up a "test" motor that tests turbines for wind towers. The motor weighs 200,000# and makes over 8,000hp w/a torque multiplier that pushes over 2,000,000 ftlbs of torque!!!
The rotor that they are testing deflection on with huge calipers weighs 60,000#.
Crazy stuff. Have 390 hours to complete the job in. So far only the flange is left to weld out and as of this morning there was still over 270 hrs left. Gonna make the boss some money :thumblef:
