Y not get a pi alt bracket and a 99 and up alternater? How hard can that be? You can get a reman one at autozone. I think this solution would be better than trying to modify the old one which you don't have. Sell your alt to someone on the forum. It should bolt right up with no problems.

Randy, Please help again....I am trying to figure what year my fuse box cover is under the hood (to get a chrome cover for one)...I don't know if it is a 97 or a 98....are there different part numbers for each? My car is a 97 v6 body with a 98 gt engine...

Thanks!

and by doing this, you run the risk of the 2 lower bolts failing. this has happened to several people causing a loss of power and leaving them stranded and in need of a tow. the upper brkt is there to help support the upper-half of the alt for a reason. so if a brkts isn't aval to you, I'd suggest atleast fabbin' one-up
