Here's a test of arcane B230 knowledge -

Does anyone know the thread size of the bolt that attaches the alternator upper bracket to the block?

Around Thanksgiving the original alternator started making nasty bearing noises, and I replaced it with a nice rebuilt 100 amp unit. Life is good. Last night, the belts started squealing and I noticed the system voltage was down below normal. Just got around to checking it this afternoon, and the damned bracket bolt broke where it enters the block. I have pretty much one shot with a borrowed vehicle tonight to get a fresh set of sharp drills and EZ-outs, and hopefully a new bolt and a tap.

Overall I can't complain... 16 years old and 215K, the car is doing quite well.
