Has anyone tried this LOW MOUNT PASSENGER side ALT Bracket made for truck mani kits?
has anyone tried this passenger side low mount alt bracket where the a/c comp would be found? i'm gonna try calling them tomorrow to ask some questions. they're not a sponsor so i wont say list their company name or post a link but i've seen a few well known guys talk about them like Broke Ef and tim99ws6 which is a positive in my book!
it's a bit more than some of the other brackets by our sponsors, such as the cbr sold by Modular Turbo, but not the most expensive (i think speed inc) and it's all top notch materials! if it works its definitely worth the extra money imo to keep from having to mount the alt up high and i don't have the option for v'bands on my manifolds as it's a complete kit thats already high temp coated as well.

I have that alternator kit on my turbo trans am. super nice kit and great customer service.. The alternator is around $100 with a lifetime warranty..
I have truck manifolds on mine and I wanted a low mount mostly for aesthetic reasons.. Found this kit and and very happy with the quality and how nice it looks..
I will get some pics poste up
When you call talk to bob

I did and after going out and holding my alt in place, i will either have to get that smaller 75amp gm alt or pay for the kit he made for brokeEf which brings it out to line up with the 6 rib portion of the crank pulley vs the 4 rib part that the a/c uses, hence part of the reason for the new pulley; that and to spin at the proper speed when you give him the crank pulley diameter. seemed like a cool dude on the phone too!
i look forward to seeing the pics man! lmk if you're using the 6 rib or if it fit on the 4 rib. thanks!

I had to get mine done like brokeEF too and had to have it moved out outer 6 rib so that the little alternator didn't hit the manifold flanges.
He was always very helpful and easy to contact and I was able to give him measurements of exactly how I needed it..
I will get some pics up as soon as I get to my computer. It's a pain to do on my phone.
You will def be pleased with the kit

took a look at it and there is JUST enough room for my cs130 alt to fit but i'm not comfy with putting that $250 alt (was on the car already cuz i wouldn't pay that much for an alt! lol) so close to the heat so i will have to use the smaller 75amp alt it looks like. but if it get the version using the 6 rib, it will have a lot less heat put on it.
did it cause any vibration or belt throwing from having the (i'm assuming here) bracket made longer to push the alt out far enough for the 6 rib part of the crank pulley?
i'm seriously about ready to pull the trigger on this!! sounds like you're pretty happy with it.

well i went ahead and ordered it tonight. i expect it should be here by wed or thursday. i'll try my cs130 amp with it and if it's too big for the space that's there, it should definitely fit the smaller cs121 75 amp alt. if i go that route, i'll get the reworked powermaster version at 100 amps just to be sure it's got plenty of juice. can't wait to get this in place. i need to wrap my system with the DEI lava wrap i just got first though. it's already high temp coated but i'm trying to keep the radiant heat to a minimum with pump gas and over 10:1cr. hopefully it's all in by the weekend if i get the time.
