I just had a weird one pics to come later. The giant cast alternator/ac compressor bracket sheared and my alternator was being wonky was how I found it. It looks like volvo pn 27186 is NLA. Is it worth having the old one welded? Didn't know how common this failure is.

Based on the fact in that crack there were only 2 clean spots it had been cracked for a long time. Who knows if someone dropped it at some point or what. Old cars are always a mystery.
 
Are you driving without a splash pan on there? Looks like a lot of corrosion got to that. I've never seen that bracket break but I have had the a/c compressor come loose on the older York compressor engines.
