Re: alternator adjustment arm
Looks like a weld candidate if you don't find a good used one?

Re: alternator adjustment arm
Last summer mine snapped. Had a friend weld it up. Some are flat, some have an S curve in them. Good as new !

Re: alternator adjustment arm
Yeah, they're slightly different.
I'd advise to remove your broken one and measure it. Take a few more pictures, and then someone can determine if they have a close match.
One year, I needed a replacement and bought 3 or 4 before finding one that matched perfectly. As redroadster68 asked, is it flat or does it have a bend? Also, how long is the one you have now? The curve makes a difference too, as some might hit the alternator body if it's not a match. Maybe lay it flat next to a ruler which shows the length and approximate curvature.

Re: alternator adjustment arm
I would suggest welding it up too. At least then you know it won't crack there again!
Nissanman, just trying to help.

Re: alternator adjustment arm
Thanks for the feedback. It is flat, and about 7.5" in length. I lack welding skills, need to learn but can probably ask a neighbor.

Re: alternator adjustment arm
Those will work for sure, but they have to be in-line, so no joggle between bolted surface and alternator locking bolt.
When I went to GM 3-wire alt I had to change mine, and I think I wandered the Pick-A-Part until I found one similar. (OK, so the bend is wrong, so I REALLY have to struggle to get the belt on, so my advice is a bit dubious on this topic!)
