Shoutout to my buddy who used a soda can shim for a loose alternator bracket

Cutting a strip from a soda can to shim a wobbly alternator bracket got me by until the new part showed up, lol.

Used a can shim once. Got me home safe.

Respectfully disagree, man. I've seen too many shred a tire or snap at highway speed. Getting home safe doesn't mean it was a smart move.

Dallas mechanic says can shims are DANGEROUS.
