Even though I don't need it, I installed the UAOS before eliminating the coolant loop was even a thing, and I replaced the alternator already 18 months ago, so it would feel like redoing alot of work...

Use a hammer and socket to drive this piece out and hammer into the billet piece.
These are separate views of the same evidence. Frequency alone does not establish a fix, and these counts must not be added together.

Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

I broke my alternator bracket and found replacements were few or pricey so decided to make my own. I've included pictures of my prototype. It is machined from a single piece of 6061 billet. Instead of the 3 ribs used for support, this section is solid. Outside dimensions are exactly OEM. I want to see how much interest there is and may consider making more of these. You will have to drive out the split steel bushing from your bracket and put it into the new piece. What do you think?
Jim
Count me in for 1 please! I�m a sucker for anything billet/ someone continuing to support and better the M96 platform.
can you explain more about the bushing/ how to?
A version without the water line might be a winner as well...
Does it have to even have the step down bit, could it be flat?
If it didn't interfere it would be another slick and less work..
Less can be more..
NICE WORK...
I was thinking about having a version without the tube and convert it to a vent so you can get the air bubbles out of that corner. It is easy for me to modify the CAD. I'm also going to extend the flange below the tube to make it easier to machine. The step is needed to clear the pulley. I'll post a pic of the 3d print when I get done.

Here is the mock up for the tubeless style. I've removed the relief for the water jacket and added a m6x1.0 mm vent hole to help remove bubbles. The outside dimensions are the same. $300 + shipping w/o tube, $350 + shipping w tube. New on pelican parts is over $650 DM if interested. Jim
Wow this is nice. Strongly considering it... Even though I don't need it, I installed the UAOS before eliminating the coolant loop was even a thing, and I replaced the alternator already 18 months ago, so it would feel like redoing alot of work... But it's so nice!
I have updated the 2 styles, With tube, and without for those who have updated UOAS. There is a bolt tapped to help bleed the otherwise dead space. These now include zinc plated bushings so you do not need to use your old one. Price for Rennlisters $350 W tube, $300 w/o tube. Shipping included for USA. PM if interested. For those who have ordered prior, I will be sending you the new bushings.
Im new and dont know how to pm you or send you a message a lil help here i definitely need one of these with the tube is there another way i can contact you? Thanks
