WigWag Workshop Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Good Day Folks! I apologize if this has been asked or discussed in another thread. Is there a tutorial or a template for making a bracket for those "Floating" altenators in Revell kits? One takes the time to detail and wire the motor with plug wires, but these motors look odd having a alternator floating in mid-air. Thanks in advance for any help, -Steven Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
High octane Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 The alternators are not "floating" as the belt holds them up. LOL! I believe Model Car Garage has a bracket set, and there are also a couple of brackets in one of their engine detailing sets I believe also. Or maybe it's Detail Master that has the brackets(?) as I do have them somewhere in my "stash." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Miatatom Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 I think this is what you're looking for. I've got to make one for a 61 Falcon Ranchero I'm doing. http://www.modelcarsmag.com/forums/index.php?showtopic=33133 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
espo Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 Photo etched brackets are the most correct for scale, but I have used very small strips of Plastruct and have been pleased. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cruz Posted June 12, 2014 Share Posted June 12, 2014 You can get a little creative and make something simple out of Plastruct stock just as I did on this Olds engine..... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
