jesus mate... you just put a new engine i the car tackled all the wiring problems you had and sorted that and now you wanna throw in the towel on swaping over a bracket.... pityfull!
the bolt that goes through it is the same as the 1.6 one... just use that...

righty.... bolts you need....
bolts to hole the bracket to the engine... use the ones that are holding the exsisting bracket to the engine...
bolt to hold the altenator to the bracket... again use exsisting bolt...
bolts to hold the tensioner to the bracket...
use the ones out of the 1.6 tensioner...
think thats it
