PlanePower AL12-C60 mounting bracket

The PlanePower AL12-C60 aircraft alternator has an installation manual that describes the fabrication of a bent metal bracket for supporting existing baffling away from the front of the alternator on some early Piper Cherokee 140 aircraft. PlanePower describes this fabricated bracket as part number 10-2008.

This Thing is a design file that can be used to plasma cut the precisely sized part from the prescribed piece of steel. After cutting, a metal brake must be used to add the two 90-degree bends in the design.

Here is a video of the plasma cutting of this bracket: http://youtu.be/tStQC6W6oEQ

As it turns out, not all Cherokee 140 installations will actually require the fabrication of this bracket. Perhaps it is only actually needed on models built in the 1960's, and not 1970's or later.
