Unhappy Remains of alternator

Well the engine is fixed after it's little trip to 9000rpm but the alternator decided it had had enough and tried to jump ship...

1 and a half year old Bosch VB commonhore 75Amp, it was way too heavy for the mounts and the old 1600 tends to do a fair bit of vibrating...

New "rally" spec hd one on the way hopefully thats the last of the after effects or :togo: for the corty, my missus isn't too happy! ;)
