Hello everybuddy! Like the title says, i have a quest minivan alternator that i wanna use on my sr20 redtop, i drilled out the mounting holes and bolted it in, swapped the sr20 pulley onto it and got the belt on it, my only problem is the bracket.

How can i make the bracket work for this thing? i tried grinding the bottom of the curved area where you adjust the tension but it the mounting hole of the alt doesnt line up. Someone told me to use washers and to put the belt on the last three grooves of the pulley but the its the sr20 pulley so it goes on perfect. Am i supposed to use the quest pulley instead? and where do i put the washers? and how can i make the bracket work without having to make a custom one? I searched some threads but didnt find anything. Thanks in advance! Peace,
