some kind of thin sheet metal.....the new alty is a bit bigger than the old one but i think i can make it fit...i hope.....we'll see.....

just looked at it...we're gonan have to do a bracket that'll bolt onto where the old alt goes, and it'll run to the new alt and the new aty bolts to that, and it'll be on the top and bottom assuming we can make the bigger alt fit in that spot.... it's gonna be close..... only other thing is the plug for the alt....the vw one has 2 wires going to it, the plug on the chevy/gmc alty has 4 prongs...im gonan call some dealerships and see what wire is what...again...this is gonna be rough....
