Towed it out of my buddy's garage after it sat for years and got some suspension goodies installed 

Is this it? Mazda Protege Alternator mount bracket | Mazda OEM Part Number FS01-18-371AFinally got in a spare alternator mounting bracket (all the way from ontario, ca!), now i can get the mechanic back out to fix my lady! who would have thought that the part would be discontinued.
Indeed! we tried to order the part from an online shop like this but they cancelled it because they couldn't source it anywhere. ended up buying one taken out of an old mp5 on ebay!
@LankyKiwi Nice, what part of NZ man?No road trip is complete without the obligatory roadside photo ops

That's the same mountain but from different sides![]()
wanted to come back and report that my ol girl is fixed and running like new!! we were able to get the alternator replaced (the mech did anyway, ha), then i bought and installed a new air intake hose. for my first car repair job, wasn't too bad! then bought new spark plugs, the rubber tube attachments were crumbling so i bought new ignition coils + wires. retired neighbor came in clutch with all the specific tools in the world, popped out the old plugs and put the new ones in.Indeed! we tried to order the part from an online shop like this but they cancelled it because they couldn't source it anywhere. ended up buying one taken out of an old mp5 on ebay!
