So I was looking for unthreaded slotted spacers. I called and went to several places. No one could help. At the last place the guy, cutting on a huge vertical band saw outside, looks over the alternator and listens to me. Then he says wait a minute. He was gone so long I thought he was pulling my leg. Then he comes out and he has that piece of copper. He told me to take it. It took me a bit to work it out but by the time I got home it sunk in. The OD of the tube was just over 10mm the size of the existing holes. The through bolt is 8mm. Sure enough I cut the tube and it worked. I had to cut it two thicknesses of the cutting wheel on my grinder. Then I cut off the extra spacer that came with it.
I installed it and hooked up the wires and now all I need is to find a V pulley for it. Then I can find out if it works
I will eventually move the mounting for the regulator.
