Abstract
Methods and systems are provided for a bracket and surrounding structure for mounting a front end accessory drive component, such as an alternator, to an engine. Hanging heavy components on brackets may be dangerous and difficult for human operators as well as violate assembly standards. To securely hold the component to the engine in order to withstand vibrations and to protect the operator, an open bracket with a curved lip and surrounding support structure is used to mount the component to the engine.
