Alternator re-builds missing lock nuts on case bolts.
One of the Case screws that hold the body together had a strippage from the re-builder the lower one you could hardly see.
One of the Case screws backed out due to strippage and started to hit the Alternator fan.
A 4.5mm Nut wasn't replaced on the screw on the back, so I added 3 more to prevent this from happening to the remaining bolts as I had one on the case for ground.
So if you get a replacement alternator, be sure that you use 4.5 mm nuts and lock washers to the back of the case bolts to prevent this from happening to you.
missing nuts.

is this on your own vehicle mate
Yes the Alternator was on my own car, and the photo is of one on my other cabby. The above photo was on a thread that I did on how I take my alternator/waterpump/a/c compressor off my car.. It wasn't that the main power cable didn't have a nut.. I was showing the case bolt that didn't have a nut on the back side….

Also having done a Nissan Micra alternator recently check if it has the black plastic cap end that all the securing screws are in it. This one was missing two screws.
