Generator bracket legnth?

Another Question! Can anyone tell me the legnth of the bottom (adjustable) bracket for the 948 thru 1275 engine? I sent my generator out for a rebuild last Spring and left the bracket on the unit. When I picked it up I saw the bracket in the box, but didn't pay any atention to the size of the bracket. Yesterday when I went to install the generator I found the bracket is very short of connecting to the botom of the generator. My bracket is about 4" long. Both Moss and V.B. list the same bracket for all 948 to 1275 engines with a generator. Is the the correct size bracket?

About 6 1/4 inches centre to centre on my 1275, hard to measure it exactly without removing it.

4 1/2" max between centers it looks like ...with a 15* bend

then I see another one on the shelf at 5 1/4" between centers (also meas. at max slot dimension)...this one is straight and is wider.

I am not the bracket expert by all means.....maybe I was looking at a smog pump bracket on one of these?

About 6 1/2 is correct.

Re: Generator bracket legnth?

Yes, thats what I thought. The one I got back from the electrical repair shop is only 4 1/2" total legnth. I will find out tomorrow if the guy I got the new engine from has one for me. Just a note for the record..... The original 948cc water pump pully fits the 1275..... BUT it won't allow the fan to clear the oil seperator canister, am replacing pully, fan and bracket..... one step forward & two backward. Thanks for the dimentions, Don
