[Vwdiesel] Alternatot bracket for 1980 VW Diesel

  Yup, gassers are different than diesel due to the IP being "in the way".  Even the non-AC bracket is different.  It's just a lever type thing but I had to weld that up on mine when it broke.  Couldn't buy new, couldn't find used and that was a LONG time ago.
  Just ask James, you can weld up about anything.  :-)  I just recently had a wonkied out keyway in a drive shaft for a pice of equipment.  Welded the shoulders up, loaded a 3/8 end mill in the milling machine and cleaned it back out.  No lathe so I filed the edges back to the shaft dia.  Did similar on an identical machine only it was a wobbled out, pinned, control lever.  Ran a bead around both sides, drilled it back out and tada!
  You might strongly consider welding it or finding a shop to do it for you.

My Rabbits alternator bracket broke on me over the weekend, so I need to find 
nother one. Any one know if the AC mounting Bracket for a MK1 Gas VW is the 
ame as the alternator bracket for a MK1 Diesel VW? Or do I have to look & hope 
 find a one of a diesel?
hanks,
