1980 300D Ben Alternator Bracket

I bent the forked portion of the atlernator brakcet that the adjustment bolt passes through and was wondering if bending it back into place is an option or if I should just buy another. I don't relish the idea of dropping a hundred plus dollars on a new/used one of these; would like to salvage what I have if it can be done.

Thanks for the help!

1984 300TD crank/no start

I just bought this car. Auto trans. Sat for 6 months. 150k miles. Just replaced battery and fuel filters. I read other posts. Glow plugs read starting from front(#1 10.7v,#2 10.8v, #3 10.9v, #410.9v, #5 11v). Loosened one injector line and fuel was coming from it.

Seems that I have fuel and power to glow plugs. Its 70 degrees out.

What is next? Comrpression test? Should I buy Physical Exam kit and then adjust valves and do a comrpession test?

Any guesses as to what problem is?
