Subject:      84 Westy alternator mount studs breaking
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=windows-1252


New to list, 1st post.  My 84 Westy with original 1900 engine keeps breaking
it's alternator mounting bracket studs.  3 times now.  Last time, while
traveling, I had factory VW studs installed by very reputable shop and
mechanic Harold at Gene’s Foreign Car Service and Parts Broomall,
Pennsylvania. I trust he did it right yet, they are now broken again??  I
have run many miles now with alternator held by adjustment arm only and very
rattley.  Getting ready to put new studs on again (today hopefully) myself.
I have purchaced some 8mm studs from auto parts store that are rated to be
very strong (sorry dont remember specs) ANY SUGGESTIONS for how to avoid
this reoccuring problem??


THANKS!
