Speaking of grounds 200 1989

Machine Man!,
Thanks for the explanation. I decided that since I must have over tightened the belts the first time that I should try that pvc idea. I am not one to normally over tighten stuff so I wonder if maybe, just maybe, Bosh uses cores from old alternators and I just got the case with a little play in the bolt hole. I'm just looking for someone to blame for this and spare some self esteem for my next mess-up. Anyways, I have to go to a pick and pull for a tranny mount soon and while I'm there I will grab an extra bracket and old alternator. That way i can play around. I also, have a neighbor that works in a machine shop that claims he can make me anything. He recently broke my chain saw so he better be able to make me anything. In the meantime though I do have some of those metal sleeves that you mentioned so I will go ahead and do the repair that way. I cut those sleeves up once already to shim my power steering pump forward when I took out the ac compressor. I figure doing both the pvc and the repair of the oval bolt hole will only make it stronger.
Hey Thanks again!
I will keep ya'll posted
