Nick, Several of us Delorean vendors have bolt on replacements with technical backup and warranty. You may want to consider going that way instead of fighting the problem with an outside vendor that as you can see offers no assistance.

The alternator I'm installing is this one: <http://autoexpress.safeshopper.com/1261/9102.htm?506> Question one: The universal bracket I'm trying to use is not working, the hole on the alternator is too far "around" it for the universal bracket to reach around and connect. Not enough angle, the universal bracket is too straight. Any thoughts?
