Abstract
An alternator 14 includes a stator housing 18 that has a longitudinal axis. A mounting portion is coupled to the stator housing 18 to couple the alternator 14 to the engine 12. The portion has a first securing portion 36 and a second securing portion 38 on an opposite side of the stator housing 18 than the first securing portion 36. The first and second securing portions have a respective through channel 40, 42 extending in a direction substantially perpendicular to the longitudinal axis 24. The first securing portion 36 and second securing portion 38 are coupled together with a bridge 44 positioned around at least a portion of the housing 18.
