Abstract: A mounting assembly particularly adapted for mounting a replacement alternator of the type having a pair of lower mounting lugs onto a pair of spaced mounting lugs of an engine block. The mounting assembly comprises two portions one adapted for connection to the alternator, and the other having a pair of brackets to provide fixture to the mounting lugs of the engine. The spacing between the brackets is adjustable by means of slidable arms to facilitate attachment of the assembly to various spacings of mounting lugs. The assembly can also provide pivotal movement between the alternator and engine by adjustment of the one portion.

Abstract: An electrical power supply which may be used with the electrical system of a motor vehicle. A first input (16) to be connected to a D.C. source (18) and a second input (12) to be connected to an A.C. source (11). The first input provided across a capacitor bridge including an input capacitor (24, 25) and output capacitor (27, 28) in parallel and diodes (23, 26) opposing discharge current from the capacitors to the first input (16). The output (30) is taken across the output capacitor (27, 28). The second input (12) provided in series with the input capacitor (24, 25). The voltage applied to the second input (12) with the charge in the input capacitor raise the charge in the output capacitor (27, 28) providing increased D.C. voltage at the output (30).Preferably, the capacitor bridge is modified to accommodate pairs of input and output capacitors to utilize both cycles of the A.C. source.Preferably a sensing means (29) and control means (54) is provided to control the voltage at the output (30).
