my alternator relocation bracket (pics inside)

ive seen a few like this one around and attempted to buy one but i couldnt find one for sale anywhere so i made my own. it was pretty easy. it only took a cut off wheel, sawzaw some 1 1/4x 1/4 steel stock and a few bolts. i used my alternator delete pulley for the top. it took about a day to do.

heres the pics

if you see in one of the pics i might have to a little trimming on the bracket to get my power steering line to connect

Re: my alternator relocation bracket (pics inside)

From the pics it looks like you lose your a/c or does your compressor mount somewhere else?

Re: my alternator relocation bracket (pics inside)

This has been running through my head for awhile and i though i would share it with you guys. To get rid of the ugly pully in the stock alt location, couldn't you just find some sort of serpintine pully off of an old 3rd gen or truck or something to put on the power steering pump and then just run a much shorter belt.

Its just an idea and i have no idea if it would work or not. Mainly because i havent looked at the ps pump to see if you could get the pully off or not and if a diff pully would even fit.

Just some thoughts

if you see here i think if the belt went over the power steering pump instead of under it, it would send the belt into the water pump. i think this is about the only way to do it without moving somthing to the drivers side.

Re: my alternator relocation bracket (pics inside)

The power steering has to run in the correct direction also. Thats why the alt relocation bracket that I helped design and now sell is run the way it is. I would love for it to run the other way, but it wont happen. Best thing you could do is find another pump that can run either direction and make that work.

Re: my alternator relocation bracket (pics inside)

Re: my alternator relocation bracket (pics inside)

I think it looks good and you saved yourself about $250.
Looks like your kids are having fun too!

What aARP bolts did you use? looks like you had some pretty good clearancing to do. I have the L19's on by Eagel H beams and they are huge
