After the lengthy thread about alternators, I decided I should look into why mine is rattling so badly. This is the second bracket that has broken in less than a year. I was thinking of welding it back together and adding a doubler in the form of a washer or just fabricating a whole new one out of thicker steel. Any ideas why it might have broken in the first place? Is it possible I tightened the belt too tight? Is it possible it is vibrating so much it fatigued the metal?
