need pics of low mount alternator no A/C no P/S

Like the title says,
I'm looking for a good picture of a low mounted alternator Installed without the A/C and P/S.
I'm going to make my own brackets since the people thats selling them are on some serious crack for what they want for a cheap stamped out piece of steel. I am going to make mine from nice billet aluminum and then polish it to perfection.

thanks!

Sound pretty cocky about making this piece if you cant visualize it! Go into photoshop, take a picture of the front of a block....paste a picture of the front of an alternator next to it. Simple.

No offense

how about you visualize yourself leaving this post if your gonna be an @$$hole!

I can visualize it just fine, I know what the bracket others are selling looks like, I just wanted to see exactly where it locates the alternator before I make it. I'm putting a T100 turbo on it and would like to know what this will interfere with!

I happen to have my own mill and lathe, so it would be stupid to pay somebody $175 for a part I can make in 30 minutes.

now go **** on somebody elses post!

Man i said no offense.

Dont **** on the people that make them, they dont make them for people that can make their own. Lots of time and energy go into making stuff like that to for lots of people.

BTW, do a search for username Steve10 or madman, they both makem, but i think your looking for installed pics

I'm not pissing on anybody, but I think is totaly ridiculous what they want for something so simple! $35 maybee, but $175!!! give me a break.
I know Brian (Madman) and while I think he does good work, I also think he's outragous on everything he sells.

If I wasnt so busy building 10 sec. daily driven Hondas, I would maybee consider making specialty parts for a whole lot less than just about anybody out there, but I have to try and keep up with the demands of my import customers for now.

Perfect!
thats exactly what I wanted, now I can see that the turbo manifold will have room to go over the top of the alternator rather than down below next to the oil pan like most other people do it. This will make for shorter more direct piping.

Thanks a bunch!!!

There's plenty of room to run even a tubular header over the relocated alternator. I'll have a good 2-3" between my alternator and my passenger side log.
