If you zoom in on the picture in this thread, you can sort of see how we made the ears. They were just cut out of 1/4" plate, and welded to the flat plate.

Another shameless plug for my thread, trying to keep ahead of David B.
PS. Note that on mine, we "outboarded" the alternator for the flat firewall mod.
You might think about putting the ears on too, in case you decide to do that in the future, but now is the time to configure the brackets.
Good luck. Maybe Bill wants to retire on your payroll? He could be your permanent fabrication expert!

Bill won't make much selling his shop its a bit small, and for a grammar school must have had about only 2 teachers looking at the size of it.

did you re use the old drive belt, I see the pulley is a smaller dia than the york one.
Also did you drill and tap the top section of your new plate, to fix to the engine bracket or use nuts and bolts?
Bills too busy this week to help so I will tack it together and get him to weld it properly next week.
