Anyone ever shattered/busted an alternator bracket? Happened on the way home from a car show yesterday. Shattered that alternator bracket, busted my Powermaster 140A, belt is gone, and snapped the 3 grade 16/18 bolts that held the bracket on right in half. It almost felt as my exhaust fell and was scrapping. Then it got more intense and felt like the driveshaft was dragging. Lost power steering, due to the belt coming off. Then my old lady said it felt like something was pushing up on her passenger seat. She started freaking out in fear of a violent @ss reaming. Then I got lucky and we had a big old parking lot to coast down into where we waited for a tow. Really confused as to how it happened.
