Alternator died, lower mounting bolt seized in the bracket, and I ended up having to cut the bracket to get the alternator out. I figured I'd just buy a new one to replace it with, but now I'm finding that it's basically impossible to buy a replacement VX alternator mount. Are there any other part numbers that will work? It is the D15Z1 engine, so I'm assuming that other D15 alternator brackets would work, but would like to hear your opinion. Or, does anybody have a CAD file for one of these guys? I could take it to a local machine shop and have one milled for me for what I'm guessing I'd have to pay for a used one on e-bay.

 

It’s just an aluminum bracket. It’s what I used on my Z6. Any D16/D15 bracket should work, it’ll just be made of steel instead.

 

You won't find the VX one for cheap as it's a rare aluminum and sought after part.

Any of the DX/LX/Si brackets will work from a 92-95. I swapped my VX over to an Si motor for a short while (D16Z6) and then went back. Their interchangeable on the 92-95 civics in USDM/CDM markets. Just steel vs light aluminum. To bad you couldn't have cut the bolt instead, the bracket was worth a pretty penny.
