Alternator Brace
The assembly manual for my '66 coupe shows a lower alternator brace. Mines missing - can someone tell me what the purpose of this brace is.

With out the brace the lower bolt will brake off from lack of support at front, should be an easy part to find.

The Brace, item 10, is needed for alternator belt position. There's no way without it that it will hold adjusted position, and therefore belt tension.
