accidentally hit reply before adding the other pictures, I was working on it.

And here is the final product, doesn't look very good but it does it's job! As you can see we messed up on the top hole and it is way beefier than the stock. I had to sacrifice an unused 1/2" metal shooting target I had laying around. Cut and welded 2 pieces to gether, shaped, painted, and installed. Sorry for no installed pictures.

Here is the new bracket welded together, very rough shape right now, and the stock bracket.

Here you can see how far it was off.

^^^This or You could move your battery to the truck. From what I understand its impossible to run dual alts in the Mazda 3. Damn you Mazda and your sneaky ways. My battery is on the opposite side of the motor not even close to the belts. This is for an 05 Neon SXT.

I will take some pictures when I get home from work this morning. It isn't too far off of the stock bracket, just beefier and isn't pretty. We messed up on drilling a hole so we ended up slotting it and I only had red rustoleum paint. Just wanted some sort of rust protection from the winter months, damn Iowa and Illinois weather and all the salt they put down...

I would love to run a dual alt setup! The Neon doesn't have much room under the hood. I would have to take out my A/C to achieve it.

I really don't use my A/C. Used it maybe a dozen times this year. I never thought of that!

Got it in! Build a new bracket. A lot of thanks go out to my brother in law, welded and shaped the bracket for me and helped me install my alternator. And thanks MECHMAN great communication and a great product! Just wish my neon had room for another!

Laying around. Damn phone messaging...

It's for a 2005 dodge neon sxt. I made some phone calls and I might be fabricating a new bracket. Not what I really want to do but right now it's the only option I can see doing. I will take pics when I get back to my car. I'm taking the stock bracket to my brother in law's now. I happened to have some 1/2"plate steel

I purchased an alternator back in August, first one didn't work, wrong plug and output setup. So waited a couple of weeks, they sent me another one, correct plug and output setup but the mounting bolt locations are now 1/2" to far apart and wont fit. Is there a way to get hold of someone from mechman after hours?

it goes by how much you're active on here, how much you post...

There has to be someone else that works at a nuke plant on here.... Are you hearing any information other than the BS that the mainstream media is feeding us.

The earthquake is not the reason for all the issues in Japan's nuke plants, it was the tsunami. Yes the earthquake is what caused the the tsunami but the plant reacted as it should when the earthquake hit.
