Like Kyle, I run the Fox vc's.

I did not want to grind down the Alt's electrical post.

I just used a thin washer under all three alt mounting bolts to shim the alt outward just a wee bit.

We are only talking a few thousandths of an inch here
so
It won't hose with belt alignment

Just another option for you
