i think phamspeed did (went out of business)
not sure if stainless works have or can.
you can try calling them and see, also note that your car is a vette (if its a vette per your sig - unless its for your 98 fbod) as the vettes accessories are different (dont stick out as much) from the fbodies

Looks close to the Alt relocate that PTS offers for their turbo kits.

Ya it's for my f-body...I wonder what a machine shop would charge to cut one of them if I provided the template. If I had a good band saw I would just cut it out of an aluminum plate

I've had good luck with them if they are adjusted correctly.

What kind of adjusting? Tiago, why do you say it sucks? And anyone know how much it is?

Just making sure the belt ligns up correctly, worse case was a pry bar and alittle bending. I have one on my car.

yeah Stainless Works I would highly recomend a different one. It sux ***. Near impossible to get your belt to run true. It took one of my friends a machinist a good part of a saturday to get it to run true and nearly three drive belts later. Just my opinion.

That is shitty... what other options are there? Anyone ever had a custom one machined?

Pro Turbo Systems has a newly designed relocation bracket... I'm hoping to get mine on this weekend when I get back home.

PTK's bracket was off an engine I had on the floor at the shop. It was a pullout of a 2000 TA that we sold. So the NEW bracket is good to go.

I remember that picture, as that's one I took.

That bracket is from GMR Speed, so it's likely the stainless works one. I'm not sure what all the fuss is with it, as I've had it on my car for ~9 months now with no issues.

Yeah that was our bracket that Stainless Works made for us. It can be a real pain to get straight mostly because we needed to machine a special spacer for the pulley but never had the time or extra money to get it done.
