Alternator mount on driver's head

I have a 51 F1 with the 8BA, I located a head mounted alternator bracket (discontinued) that Speedway used to sell. I was hoping to use this to modify to mount a power steering pump on it. The part number is 916-67915. The instructions don't show where this actually mounts. If anyone has a photo or diagram of how and where this is mounted I would appreciate it.
 
Personally I would not wish to have it mounted on my head ( too much strain on the neck muscles :))
If the bracket mounts on the head it most likely uses head bolts to attach.
This generally requires longer head bolts/studs and possibly head to bracket spacers.
If it does indeed use the head bolts it should be pretty obvious which ones are used.
It may also use one or more of the water pump bolts.
 
Don't know on the alternator bracket, but would assume it would be similar to the generator bracket. It requires longer head studs and with a finned head it requires spacers (some of the brackets have them built in). Looks like there is one that mounts lower on the head.

It will be the three bolts in the lower front corner of the head I believe. Hold it up to the head, you should be able to see which bolts line up with the bracket.
