position of the surfaces can vary due to for example manufacturing tolerances this can cause high levels of residual stress in the mounting arrangement that especially in a high vibration environment can cause failures conventional mounting arrangements overcame this by complex or heavy designs or by the use of methods such as shimming this generally caused conventional designs to be expensive and cumbersome to fit the disclosed arrangement comprises a simple and relatively inexpensive bracket and adjustable member wherein the adjustable member can be adjusted to compensate for misalignment after the bracket is fitted into position the adjustable member can be positioned relatively to the bracket in such a manner that the bracket is fully supported by the adjustable member without any unwanted residual stress application_number US 65950603 A description with reference to fig1 a first mounting bracket 10 and a second mounting bracket 12 in accordance with this disclosure are fitted to an internal combustion engine 14 engine 14 comprises a cylinder block 15 and cylinder heads 16 and 17 brackets 10 and 12 secure air conditioning compressors 18 and 19 a vacuum pump 20 an alternator 22 and a steering pump 24 to engine 14 other types of articles may also be mounted and need not be belt chain or gear driven a crankshaft pulley 26 is the driving pulley and drives the aforementioned accessories in addition to a coolant pump 28 via a drive belt 30 in addition to the accessories the brackets carry idler pulleys 32 and 34 and a belt tensioner 36 coolant pump 28 is fitted directly onto the engine first mounting bracket 10 and second mounting bracket 12.
