Hank, you should be able to get a nut to secure the generator pulley and fan at your local alternator and starter shop. It may be available at a parts store too. The nut was used for many years on generators and maybe even some alternators. Someone here might be able throw one your way from their parts stash. Do you have the lock washer on do you need one of those too? Sorry, I do not have any extras.

There is some debate about whether the slotted part of the adjustment strap goes on the engine or generator side. Maybe it depends on whether the generator is a Delco or Auto Lite. I mounted my slot on the generator side.

Nice seeing you and your family at Salado; albeit, for only a brief period of time.
