The only reason to get this bracket is if you check your valve lash often, cleaning up the engine bay is just a bonus. $200 is worth it to me because it is a pita to take the alternator off everytime you want to take the passenger side valve cover off IMO.

 

As I said, this will be my third year running the first one made. I have had NO slippage and the only problem I have had was the case screws on the alternator vibrated loose. I put a dab of loctite on them and have been good ever since.

 

That is me, but I'll keep taking the alt. off until something cheaper ever comes around if it does.

 

i need this bracket to mount my alt down low so my manifolds can come over it for the turbo. i would use something like th espeed specialty stup but the belt is still in the way and i don't have anything to run but the alt.

 

here is another one if you want to change to a CS130 alternator. bottom of the page and its only $60...

I can have my alternator off in about 5 min or less. I mean its only 3 bolts and two connectors. I think it would be cool to relocate it to clean up the engine bay, but for now I think 5 min of work is worth way more than 200 bucks. Just my .02.

 

dude it looks like it is too high.. you cant close your hood.. alos that thing looked like so different.. just for 60 bucks?? but l guess to install would be pain in the ***..

also someone please send me some pics of regular alternator removal and installations. l am about to replace mine!!

thanks..

scroll down to the bottom of the page. You are looking at the wrong one...

 

Very intresting. That's way better than paying the rip off prices everyone else wants.

 

i looked into the alan grove one but i don't know anything about a CS130 alternator and i saw no reason to replace the goos stock one that i have.

 

does the other altnator plug into the factory connection?

 

I belive the plugs are the same on the 2 alternators. Actually the fan and pully spec out that same but you need the cs130 due to the mounting brackets. The stock alternator has tabs for mounting at 12 and 6 o'clock. the cs130 in the picture does not.

 

The factory plug is compatible with the CS130. I'm getting a custom accessory setup put together using this style alternator and it checks out ok.

 

well **** if it fits and plugs in $60 is a screaming deal
