The comment on Mike's website was refering to the "left handed fastening screw" (the one at 7 o'clock in the photo), and the "right handed fastening screw" is the idler bolt (at about 5 o'clock in the photo). My point was that Mike was not making any reference to the thread type (left or right) in his comment, only the location when you are looking at the alternator.................. Unfortuantely, Mike's instructions does have the bolts reversed as to which one needs to be tapped, which probably is adding to your confusion.

All clear now.
Thank you JFP.

BTW, it is not only Mike's instructions. There are others too.
