I have no picture, but I built one for an M last summer that allowed more belt adjustment with a SI series Delco alternator. The lack of room between the valve cover and hood makes for little side to side belt adjustment. We built this bracket with 2 inch long slots where the bracket bolts to the engine, alowing the alternator to move up / down plus right / left. This allows a lot more alternator belt adjustment.
Another trick we used on a relatives 450 that needed a new alternator belt, but had been neglected and wet for years, the fan belt pulley was badly corroded, so getting it adjusted loose to install a new alternator belt was going to be a major pain. The fan belt was in good shape and plenty tight, so we did not mess with it. We cut off the old alternator belt and replaced it with NU-T-link V belt. This is a belt formed of many little links that can be set to any length and the ends can be coupled while installed on the machine.
Makes it very easy to replace an alternator / generator belt on those old IH adjustable pulleu setups, plus being able to easily remove a link when wear and stretching makes the belt too long.
