[alfa] Elongated alternator mount hole repair?

[Kevin Trent <trentkc@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

I started to disassemble a '73 2L engine for rebuild.  The engine came from 
a parts car so I don't know its history.  When I removed the alternator 
from the front cover its mounting hole was badly elongated, and so was the 
mounting hole on the engine's front cover.  The alternator must have been 
moving side to side on the front of this engine for a long time, probably 
because the mounting bolt was loose and the alternator was primarily 
secured at the top.

Anyone out there have experience with this problem?  Suggestions for 
repairing the elongated front cover alternator mount hole?  Drill it out 
and install a sleeve?  TIG weld it up and rebore the hole??  Find another 
front cover?  (Same questions for the alternator)..

Thanks in advance.  //KCT, Powell, TN
