I need a new gen cover/mount or if this can be welded I may do that. Or I need to look at other ways to change/modify this mount.
Looks like a really "quick and dirty" method to modify that broken mount would be to totally remove the distal broken-off piece and the rubber dampener, etc., cut a piece of stiff rubber hose like heater hose with an inner diameter that will just force up onto the broken stub off the alternator head, secure with a hose clamp and either let the other end just ride on top of the U-channel metal support underneath or you could cut the end of the hose on a bevel and put a bolt through the extreme right end and through the U-channel support underneath to secure it.
Not elegant, but it would be ultra-cheap and still give some vibration dampening!
