Do I need to reuse the mounting stud and the lower mounting bracket for the alternator when doing a header install? Its the front bolt on the passenger side header. I'd rather use a locking header bolt here but don't see how to do that and retain the bracket.

 

I left that bracket off when doing my header install. No problems yet with running it that way, the other brackets are more than enough to hold the alternator tight.

 

Running into the same issue right now.

 

Been running mine without that bracket for years now no problems...I know others that have done the same.
