My 1940 M had already been converted to an alternator when I bought it, but instead of using the original generator mounting bracket, they used one of those "universal" alternator mounting brackets. I guess it worked for the guy that did it, but I never could get the belt tightened up properly without the alternator rubbing on the hood. Even tried a shorter belt, but the geometry of how and where the alternator was mounted just flat wouldn't allow the belt to ever get tight. I made some modifications to that universal bracket that allowed the alternator to set a little higher, and now the belt is "fiddle string tight", and the alternator fits easily under the hood and is not visible. I actually got the alternator position a little TOO high, and I had to "roll" the belt onto the pulley, but it works, and I did use the same belt as what is required for the original generator.
