I came up with this bracket so I could relocate my large truck (145 amp) alternator up on the passenger head. I didn't want to have to run a smaller alternator as I've had issues with the stockers and no one had anything that I liked. This is my first revision and I will be altering the setup slightly for a final version. Here is what I have for now, tell me what you think. Tucks in nice with the large truck alt.









Truck alt vs stocker




Updated design

 

Nice looking part.

 

heh, I was about to start designing my own.

Anybody know what the stock amperage rating is?

Why do you have the slot if you've got a tensioner?

 

are you going to sell them?

 

haha i knew itd be one of the first posts cus i wanted to ask the same thing. looks nice as hell, id buy one for sure.

 

Yeah that looks good...how much to make??? Will this only work with a truck alt?

 

Damn right thats a nice piece! Thats the forst one ive seen that i would buy.

 

Can you send me a cad drawing of that, so I can make me one on my mill? not to produce for anyone else just for me

 

Having the slot in the bracket makes the belt alot easier to get on as the position of the tensioner does not give much slack for the belt. This was just my trial peice anyways so I was testing things out with the tensioner and bracket.

I don't have a cad drawing since I programmed it in mazatrol. I can get you dimensions and what not though.

I don't plan on selling them but if I find some extra material laying around when I make my next bracket (will have some engraving) maybe I will whip something out. I wouldn't sell them but I could give a few away if I have time to make some.

Oh and of course it works with the stock alternator, here is a pic







Almost forgot, thanks for the comments guys I appreciate it!

 

I would love to have a nice aluminum one like that!! Very nice work man!!!

 

Very nice indeed! Any belt slippage with your piece yet? I still have belt walking problems with my relocation braket. Usually jumps a rib or two, but never comes completely off.

 

Someone make a sticky about different alt brackets, pls.

Is the alter electrical connector for truck alt the same as F-body connector?

Nice work.

 

Hell, I would pay for one but if you would give one away, I would love to have it.

 

Off topic....WTH is that chic doing in your avatar?? LOL

 

If you can send me some info I can have a buddy make it for me

 

That looks great, def a professional looking job!

 

The truck alternator is a AD244 145 amp alternator that is far superior to the stock 105 junker. It can bolt diretly in place to the factory alternator bracket but it requiers a slightly longer belt and it also uses the same 4 pin plug in. Here is more info on it https://ls1tech.com/forums/generatio...-failures.html

I cannot imagine the belt slipping or being out of alignment as I took precise measurements to ensure the pulley depth was reloacted to the same depth as stock. My car won't be driveable for about a month or so, but I do not see why it would slip as it has quite a bit of tension.

I can get you guys all the X, Y and Z dimensions if you want. My X zero Y zero is the alternator pivot bolt going into the head.

 

Post them up or send me a pm

 

lol.. shes blowing up a balloon.. or deepthroating one.. not sure but I like to use my imagination...

 

Cool, thanks.

What's the thickness of the plate and height of the spacers?
