225 Alternator Brackets

Can anyone post some pics of their 225 alternator brackets? Ideally, I'd to see a pic with the alternator mounted on the engine, and a pic of just the brackets off the motor.
Thanks.

 

I've got a loose bracket I can take a pic of this weekend and e-mail you if you like. Nickmil.

 

Here's a cloudy one....not really much of a bracket...just a slide thingamajig and a bolt with a spacer.

Sure wish I had one of the brackets like's supposed to be.

 

Uh, John. You got an alternator under that seat or supthin?

 

Here's one of schardeins shiny engine compartment. The top bracket can be seen here.

 

lincleil,

If you will go to the e-bay spot on the forum and click on the nos 225 engine, there is a good picture of an alternator bracket in a picture at trhe bottom of the page. hope this helps.

 

nice, between the picture vanguard posted of the top bracket and the picture montana and sparky posted of the lower bracket, i think i have a pretty good idea.
Nickmil, if you have a shot of the bracket(s) off the motor, i'd like to see that too if possible.
thanks everyone.

 

You got it Chuck. The one junkyard around here that used to let people wander around and pick & pull doesnt let people do it anymore because of liability reasons. i figure if the 198 has the same brackets as the 225, then so should the 215 - since the 215 and the 198 were both only made from 61-63 and they were both used in the same cars, with the 198 standard and the 215 optional. with the pics that have been posted, i will try to visually deduct whether or not the 225/198 brackets will fit my 215.

 

OK, here is the pic I promised. Sorry it's late . A thousand lashes with a wet noodle is my punishment. Nickmil.

 

thanks for all the help guys. it doesn't look like it'll work on my 215. i talked with a few buick guys and they said the only thing that'll work are the brackets from a 1963 215 motor (the 61 & 62's used a generator, and thats what I got). If I can't find one, theres a place called D&D Fabrications that deals specifically with this motor and sells all sorts of custom stuff for it. they want $80 for their custom brackets. more than i'd like to spend on alternator brackets. worst comes to worst, thats my last resort...

 

Nick..would you sell that bracket?

 

Uh, sure. How about $10 plus shipping?
Nickmil.

 

Sold! You take pay pal?

If so...give me your addy and I'll just fight with my wife about it later.

I suppose I should say though, that the PO told me something about him having converted my alternator to a one wire alternator. I have no idea what that means, but if I'm buying a bracket that's supposed to work with the Dauntless Alternator, what are the chances that this one wire alternator conversion resulted in a different alternator...one that won't work with this bracket?

Regardless...I still want the bracket. If it don't work I'll just put it on the shelf.

You have a PM! I don't have a pay pal account but check, money order, cash, I don't care. I'll take any of it from you John! Nick.
