Default cossie alternator drop bracket

Has anybody got any pics of which holes on a bracket are used to fit the bolts to be able to fit it to the block?!

Finishing off my engine and was a long time ago it was fitted and cant figure out which bloody holes in it are for the 4 holes to mount it to the block

Sounds simple but theres alot of holes and i couldnt work it out for love nor money

Cheers

If I remember right roosie still had to cut a lump off to fit it.
If not I'll get a piccie as I want to pop over his anyway, and I'll email you the pick.

Have you lopped off the loop/nogging on the block? On most of the drop bracket's there's a small (m6 i think) threaded hole, that goes at the top as you look at the side of the block with it fitted. No one could tell me what this was for...I can only presume that on rs500's, that the drop bracket was copied from, it uses this to secure a pipe or something to?
