Received the suggested bracket from Go Westy.  Removed
alternator and found both bolts going into case had sheared
off with part of case worn away form left bolt hole.  The
same thing happened about four years ago.  Have called my
Vanagon mechanic (Wolfsburg Tech in Twiggs County, GA) to
bring his trailer and take van to his shop.  Fortunately,
have two other vehicles to use.
