I just fixed a one-wire conversion on a Super M. The previous owner had cut the hood and was using a turnbuckle attached to the frame rail to tighten the belt.

Mounted the alternator using 3/8" threaded rod.
Bent the original top brace to line up with the top mounting lug on the alternator, and used some washers as spacers for proper alignment.
It fit PERFECTLY. Just off the engine head. Just inside the hood.
