Default relocating alt.?

i need to relocate my alternator to the passenger side ( either up or where the ac compressor used to be) , yet still retain the accesories like power steering and waterpump.

any ideas who makes a kit like that ??

This also acts as a manual tensioner. The setup has worked very well for us numerous times.

all high quality hardware includes

all will be m10 with a standard 1.5 pitch
three 2cm
two 5cm
two 7cm

for the clearance with aftermarket rails you will need a special fitting for the front crossover like this
which is what i use with my speed inc aftermarket rails.

no problem, ohh and mine took a 6rib 73.5" belt, so yours should be the same..

i got mine from advanced auto parts and the PN is 5060735 its made by dayco

the last 3 digits of the PN dictate the belt length

the fitting i used was RUS-612100
that is if your rail has a 3/8npt though.

the reason i dont include bolts it allows me to ship faster and keep the cost lower, it is easy for most people to pick them up at their local hardware store.
sorry.

I just finished a cardboard template for the bracket I plan on building, it should get scanned and cut out on the plasma table tomorrow. I'll post pics if all goes well.

Is smokinHawk the only one that is selling this bracket?

I would love to buy one instead of fabricating one.

Thanks

I would think that someone would have come up with a better looking relocation bracket by now. I have had a smokin hawk and a Stainless works. Stainless works one just plain suxed. The Smokin one I had trouble getting the belt to line up. Might have been just my luck with them doesn't seem to be to good.
